Sound of 9-5 V6 on start-up

I asked the dealer about this and was told that "it's normal."
When I start my 9-5 ('99 SE V6), it sounds smooth and quiet from the inside of the car. However, when outside of my car (or with the windows open as I have recently with the nice weather) it sounds rough and noisy... almost like a diesel with a lot of top-end clatter. It seems to run just fine, as it always had, but I never noticed this noise in the past.
As I said, the dealer service writer heard it and said it was fine... but this could be because my car has 49,600 miles on it and I'm out of warranty soon. Any thoughts or comparisons to other cars? I wanted to listen to some others, but the only other 9-5s in the service department were 4 cylinders and sales department was closed at the time I was there.
