Should I be worried much about this noise?
Sounds like a rubber belt or so losing grip.
Noise stops after 30 or so meters.

If it were mine i'd check the belt. Could be some dust but the idea of a belt snapping at speed isn't pleasant. I always check thing when i hear weird noises. My friends who work on them trust my instincts. Good luck and if you find the problem please tell us. Thanks

According to the repair shop this is usually the oil pump.
They say it's harmless and I don't need to have it fixed, it's just annoying.
But because it's annoying, I'm having it fixed anyway.
In the mean while the back tyre had a flat which is now plugged.
It's profile is nearly run out so I'll have the tyre replaced, don't want the plug to snap while driving.
