A tapping noise that starts out cold and goes away when warm is usually caused by a valve lifter inside the engine. The lifter may be worn/leaking down and will be noisy until it fills with oil pressure. You can try an oil additive ( Lucas Oil Additive ) available at most part stores works very well with noisy lifters. Another noise that can happen cold and go away when warm is an exhaust manifold leak. However, this is normally a ticking type sound rather than a tapping sound.

SOURCE: oxygen sensor problem on mitsubishi outlander 2004

If the car has a check engine light on you may want to have the code checked, as this may point you in a direction as to what is causing this issue.

It could also be a bad EGR valve if the vehicle surges.

Hope this helps you out,

03 eclipse making noises in cold weather

First you need to find the source that is causing noise. On cold weather is very normal engine belts or belts idle pulley bearings or belt tension-er to make noise, especially when they are old. Also power steering pump too especially if the oil is very old.

Car loses power but when oil cap been opened power returns

The noise could be a slipping belt. The belt can slip until it warms up.
You might want to check the PCV valve and air cleaner to make sure the crankcase is breathing normally.

2000 Mitsubishi Galant 4 cyl ES underhood squeal on right side

Be gentle with my rating. I am a long ways away. It sounds like a fan belt. You should pop the hood next time and see how it sounds when you have the squeeling going on. Fan belts will squeel until the get warmed up and then stop because the heat makes them grab the way they are ment too. Let me know, Raz
