Default Sounds like 2 bottles clanking together @ start up?

I get a sound like 2 bottles clanking together at start up then it goes away. You get a slight sound from under the car, but nothing from the engine bay?

Any Idea's?

Sounds like piston slap. At work we hear it a lot on the GM cars.

Never had it before. I did just change oil types from Mobil 1 to Penzoil Platnum?

Is it just on start up? I just to have the exact same sound coming from my car when i bought it, except i would hear the bottles sound when i was taking corners. It took some detective work but i found nuts and bolts in my cars frame from a trailer hitch that was put on.
