Why does my Ford Fiesta make a strange noise when I start it?

I recently noticed that my Ford Fiesta is making a strange noise whenever I start it. It almost sounds like a grinding or rattling noise. Does anyone know what could be causing this and if it is something I should be concerned about?

It could be an issue with your starter motor or your ignition system. I recommend taking it to a trusted mechanic for a diagnostic test.

I had the same issue with my Fiesta and it turned out to be a faulty belt tensioner. Once I got it replaced, the noise went away.

Are you sure it's not just a normal noise that all Fiestas make? Mine also makes a slight noise when starting, but it hasn't caused any problems.
