More than likely the valve lifters, if it only happens when the vehicle is first started, then goes away or gets quieter. I would not be concerned with it, I assume the vehicle has high mileage. Maybe switch to a synthetic oil and/or add an oil conditioner (STP, Lucas, etc.) next time you change the oil. If it happens during acceleration it could be pinging caused by preignition, this could be fixed by using a better quality fuel.
