Due you mean the idling speed is higher so the engine sounds louder. On a mates car when you first start it from cold the idle speed is very high, i would guess around 2500rpm(just by the noise, he ain't got a rev counter). It must be fine as the MOT tester changed his, summit do with the emissions test. It goes back to a normal idle when the engines warmed up.

If it is just generally noiser it is probably because the oil hasn't had chance to reach the tappets and other parts of the engine. This would be why it would quieten when the oil has warmed and circulated the engine.
So it should be fine.

Hope this helps
