Default rattling noise from turbo on cold starts

hello,

recently when i start my car, sometimes even when it's not a cold start, and i rev to reverse or whatever, i can hear a slight rattle which is coming from the exhaust and seems to be in time with the turbo spooling (it's a td04 so obvs it spools a little real quick).

you can hear it on deceleration too if the revs are high enough, just a slight rattling which seems to me like it matches the turbine spinning

are these signs shaft play?
car is slightly more laggier but i haven't noticed a huge difference in top end (because it has none anyway)

I've heard major shaft play with bigger turbo's HKS2835 and they sound a lot worse, but then again they're much bigger turbo's
bear in mind the turbo's done 260 odd thousand km's now

thanks in advance

also it disappears once you've been driving it for long enough, i.e it heats up
