Default XFR start up noise

Got a 2015 XFR. Good car but not a smooth as my previous X350. Noticed a slight engine rattle on initial start up. Goes away after 2minutes and doesn't reappear unless left overnight. Dealer says all S/C engines have it and is from the mechanical fuel pumps. Any body had similar experience

Thought about catalytic converters after your suggestion. The noise is gone suddenly after about 2 minutes. There are two converters and I would think that one would be up to temperature in advance of the other. The noise goes completely suddenly.
