Two thoughts for the growl:
(1) Check your main pulley (aka Harmonic Balancer). One symptom when the fail is a squeal at start-up that goes away. Maybe yours is growling.
(2) Starter motor release gear. After starting, the starter gear doesn't retract quickly enough, and it grinds a bit on the flywheel.
If the growl is coming from the belt side of the engine, heck the pulley. If it's coming from the starter is(pretty much over your feet on a LHD car), suspect starter.
