For about for the first minute or so when starting from cold there is a really strange noise coming from the front of my car. It kind of sounds like the sort of noise you get when you have a hole in the exhaust (that was my initital thought) however the fact that it goes away after a few hundred metres of driving suggests perhaps it is not?

You havent put down the make and model of your car but it sounds like it might be your secondary air pump. Have a google for your car make and model with the words secondary air pump too.
It's all down to emissions when the engine is cold.
