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 noisy startup sound from inside your tower that lasts a few minutes can be caused by several factors. Since your computer otherwise works fine, it’s likely not an immediate emergency, but it's good to monitor and possibly troubleshoot to prevent future issues.
