Default vibrating metal sound

When my cars cold I dont notice it but once its been driven for say a 20-30 minute drive it sounds as though something metal is vibrating in the engine bay.

It happens when I take my foot off the gas comming up to a roundabout/junction.

Once I've pressed the clutch, the vibrations gone.

Any ideas?

If a classic then the heatshield splits just under the head on the drivers side. There's info about exactly where and how to stop it happening again on the SIDC site
