Lots of noise on start up?

I took it in, and it of course didn't repeat said noise.. took it on a road trip this weekend, and while in Lubbock, darn thing made noise the whole time we were driving around the town... and stayed on for first 35 miles after leaving town to head back home.

if I'm not mistaken it's a extra clutch that kicks into your cooling fan on start up and when your engine is running hot. Yes?

That is what I think it is... but never an issue once it engages.. it is quiet as can be. just sometimes it takes 30-50 miles to engage, other times about a mile.
