I haven't bothered to pinpoint the noise but it definitely is a clatter, isn't it? I figure its a bit of valvetrain noise and maybe some piston slap. Also I think there is a bit of an exhaust leak when its cold.
Mine seems to quiet down when it warms up and when its running on fresh oil. When I went to 10W-30 things seem to be a little quieter, too.
Just part of the charm of the 3.0L V6.....
