Sputtering 'clink' 'clank' noise :S

I have this sound that seems to be coming from the driver side of the car (sounds like the area directly under the driver seat). It sounds like those 'clinking' & 'clanking' noise you get when you turn your car off. Only this is while the car is idling, sounds like little sputtering noise mixed with some 'clink' 'clank' ... what is that?? lol sorry I dont know how else to describe it

So then this is normal? I have to say I just went out at lunch (a little warmer out there now), and I started my car, and didnt really hear anything....

If it only happens when you turn the car off and it's a clink clink sound like you're flicking a metal pipe or something, then it's normal.

Can you post up a clip to be sure?
