I am getting this really odd crackling noise on COLD startup for like the first 5 seconds of the car running lately...but it only happens when the engine is cold...if it is warm the noise does not occur...I have not yet had someone else start the vehicle to determine where the noise is coming from but it is indeed the engine bay which is where it obviously would be if in fact it was a solenoid...any ideas what could be causing it???

When the motor is cold, all the oil is in the pan. Maybe you are hearing the lifters/valvetrain, then once the oil hits, it goes away. That is my guess.
