When I start my car when its cold outside (below 10 degrees C ish) you can hear a rattle. Stationary you can hear it when you listen closely, but it gets worse when driving for the first 5-10 minutes. I especially notice it around 20, 40 and sometimes 60 km/hr, I think because its high in RPM.

When driving for a while or in warmer weather is much less.

Since you can not hear it that well all the time I'm not sure what to do. It might be hard to reproduce for the mechanic. From searching on Google I think it might be the timing chain, but since this is my 1st car I'm not sure if this can be it.

Thanks for the help!

you should leave the car to the mechanic, he will start it in the morning and take a tour with it, to realize what it could be.
