Should I take to dealer for inspection?

When ever i start the engine and then press the gas pedal, I hear a little clunking noise or like a noise of like some metal hitting each other in the engine. This only happens for like ~1 or 2 seconds and this only happens when I start my engine and start going.

Should I give Infiniti a call to take a look at it? Also, When I go over a speed bump, It sounds like air is coming out of my tires, as I hear a hiss. Is that normal?

Sorry for the noob questions.

Thanks everyone for your help.

The first noise you explained when driving off after starting engine most likely refers to the ABS undergoing a check on the system. This is completely normal on all G's after going 10 mph, so you have nothing to worry about.

The second noise when going over a speed bump might be coming from your compression rods and/or the bushings. This is common on all G's. Since you have any '06, you can call the dealer and ask to have the compression rods checked and/or replaced under warranty.

the clunk can also be the timing chain at startup

Bro, you have warranty, whenever I feel there's something defective I make an appointment asap, let them know you need a loaner in advance, and let them handle your worries, and don't take it to a dealership for an inspection, it takes 10 mins at a private mechanic shop...

So I should not take it in to the dealer for inspection? Should I just go to the dealer and ay that I am hearing a clunk and not use the word inspection?

Thanks!
