start-up noise

Lately, on a cold start, it makes a noise after the actual start of the engine that I can best compare to a chattering squirrel. It almost seems like the starter motor doesn't stop after the car starts and I let go of the key.



What could this mean?



Nothing else seems wrong. Doesn't happen if the car is warm.


I would put heat shields on the list.
