If I have the car at home and park it in the driveway. Later on I will start it and put it back in the garage. The next day it will chatter when started. As long as the car it brought up to operating temperature it will never do the chatter on the next restart.
Yes this has been my exact experience also. Has done it twice since august 2008 (new delivery) each time it was when I did not run it up to temp. but shut it off then next time it was started it did the very bad noise ('chatter'....)

U guys need to head over to the problems and fixes forum and catch up on the most recent corporate attempts to fix this issue, and grassroots work-around attempts including my rev-cut rattle mitigation method the jury's still out on, but working for me and a couple others I know with low-mileage 09s

Oh and not parking nose-down works as well. Those who have cars with problems that are getting worse can replicate this sound at the dealer by parking it for a day, nose-down.
