I would say you either have a rod knocking or lifter knocking. I know in the 3.8 litre motors they are known to knock alittle when you cold start them. Most Grand Ams, Grand Prixs are like this. My sister has a 2002 Grand Am that does this and the noise goes away once it's warmed up. I would also double check and make sure your oil is full. get your car to a garage for a def solution.
I had this problem on mine. Using a flat screw driver starting form the window seal you can very gently pry the door panel up and then work your way down loosen the door panel enough to access the interior portion of the door and the lock. It takes patience not to break the door panel but it works.

Now with it off the car turn it flat and slosh it around(took a couple minutes to get it all out) Dont know what causes this , but i took silicone andcaulked every gap i found (upper left and right corners, and hole where the lock cylinder protrudes through the assymbly).

If you put it in neutral you can flat tow it for a couple (two or three) blocks but if the transmission jumps into gear when you hit a bump or something you will ruin the transmission pretty quick. If you try to flat tow for any distance you will ruin the transfer case for sure.

How often do you check coolant after mechanic fills?
At the same interval you check your tires and bring the pressure up to recommended: every month with a new car, and more often if you have a reason to suspect a problem.
Remember to check the coolant when the engine is cold, to get an accurate reading and eliminate the chance of getting burned. Tires too, as they will read high when they are warm.

There are two small nuts that hold it down, remove them. Remove the seat belt latches. 3. Remove the rear deck. It simply lifts out. 4. Undo the clips on the speaker housings, and gently pry up on the housings. There is a small amount of adhesive which may make you think they are permanently attached; they aren't. 5. You will need a Torx driver to remove the stock speakers from the housing. 6. Installation is the reverse.
