Weird 'clunk/scratch' noise only once after starting...muffler? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be saskia smith on  Mon Oct 17 15:12 CST 2005 [RELATED]

There is a weird scratching/clunk noise that occurs *only once*, about 60 seconds or so after I start my engine. It sounds almost like something is briefly scraping on the pavement. My mechanic says he thinks there might be something loose in the muffler. Any ideas before I pay big bucks for him/a muffler person to root around looking for a problem? My mechanic is a Saab specialist, so maybe it's something only Volvo related..or maybe he is right and it's not much to worry about only something in the muffler. Should I be concerned?

Thanks,
