My civic has a verry similar nois when it starts up cold. Its probably valves or cams. It stops once oil gets up there but it takes a sec for it to circulate around the engine.

The timing belt sound is very common and will not hurt a thing. The tensioner is oil fed and for a very short time it has no oil pressure when you start the car.
As soon as pressure is built up (about 2-3 seconds) the tensioner starts working and takes up the slack in the belt.
That too...lol
