Default Start up noise?

Does anyone have a noise when starting there car? Once started the car runs quietly, but I noticed on startup there is almost a shutter while turning over

I'm not really sure if I would say it's like that. I'll take a video of it. It's quick, I can feel the car vibrate a little then it fires right up.

Maybe that’s the noise that comes from the VVT-i after the first morning start.

Only thing I hear is that on startup, engine speed high, but as long as it slows down in a few seconds, sounds normal.

Seat belt chime is distracting. Perhaps you could get someone to start it up while you're under the hood recording.

Sounds like you may be experiencing worn out engine mounts. Have a mechanic check it out or record a video of the engine startup (under the hood) in daylight and post it here.
