Noise on startup

My computer has fairly recently started to make a lot of noise on startup. The noise comes from inside the tower. The computer is noisy for a few minutes and, then, the noise stops. This happens at most startups.
Is this a cause for concern? Otherwise, the computer works fine. I tried to attach a recording of the noise, but this site wouldn’t let me..

    A computer that makes noticeable noise during startup, especially if it’s a new or recent development, can be caused by several factors. Since the noise subsides after a few minutes and the computer otherwise functions well, it might not be an immediate cause for alarm, but it’s worth investigating to prevent potential hardware issues.
