Does anybody know what this sound is?

The video is below this post.. basically whenever I let my vehicle sit overnight or for a couple of days, when I cold start it, it makes this weird noise. This weird noise only comes from the left exhaust which also drips some condensation liquid. Again this noise and water dripping only happens on one exhaust (left).

Does anybody know why this noise happens during cold starts? Video link below...

Almost sounds like a slight exhaust leak. Maybe the metals are cold so they aren't lining up 100% until they're warm? Or maybe condensation is just being built up in the exhaust over night and is being cleared out when you cold start and the left exhaust is easiest for it to evacuate from.

Water in the muffler. Blip the throttle a few times to blow out the water that has collected in the muffler.

Is that something I should be concerned about, like a defect?

No this occurs in all cars with an internal combustion engine and is perfectly normal.
