Engine Noise

Hi All,

I am facing engine problem of my old ford focus car. its Ford Focus 2005 model. I did last service at Ford dealer June'17. Suddenly, end of December'17 in the morning engine made abnormal sound when I started the car. later it gone.. for few weeks, only in the morning the sound last for 5 minutes..then automatically ok. from last two weeks it became more regularly. specially, I feel in colder weather. but, if I drive the car for long time...the sound gone after 10 mins max. please note, home to workplace distance only 15 mins drive, as a result I don't drive too much. 

the problem I am facing, I went twice garage, and that time there was no sound... runs perfectly well. but, for last 2/3 days... it making loud noise...anyway... you can listen the engine sound I recorded today:

 

 

at the time I press gas/accelerator, the engine making noise...if you can hear carefully...you can understand...sorry for background sound of my children...

If you can share your knowledge about this kind of abnormal engine sound and let me know.. what can be the reason..then it will be very helpful for me...specially to understand garage guys opinion and easier to take the right decision.

 

thank you in advance...

    @AmiZaKi it has a very similar sound to that of the clutch not engaged fully like when reversed and it's acceleration is used more, but it could also be something to do with any of the air pipes ? What engine is do you have.. 1.4/1.6/1.8/2.0 petrol/diesel ?
