Drivetrain noise.
Okay, I've come here before and the wealth of knowledge has been incredibly helpful. So my issue is this: On my '06 Base coupe (auto) when I first start it up and go up the incline from underground there is a strange sound (me hearing strange sounds in cars drives my wife crazy!) it sounds like this (best way I can describe it): sand or tiny pebbles rolling in a metal container. Weird right? The thing is it only happens when it's cold and 3 minutes later it's gone. So anyone have a similar problem? Is it something I should be concerned with? Thanks as always.

That's the sound normally associated with torque tube rattle. I had the same type sound with mine and the TT bearings were bad along with the forward rubber coupler. If you are only getting this sound for about 3 minutes, I would look at the exhaust system hitting or something loose underneath.
