I am recovering from a cold right now and can say that this time I had no "loud" warning signs - I just woke up last week and it was here.
It varies from one person to the next in addition - each time you catch a cold you don't experience the same symptoms.
Typically I will experience a throat discomfort (sore or scratchy); nasal and/or head congestion usually sets in once the cold is already present. You might experience chills, loss of appetite and tired.

If you exercise, you may notice that you're just a little low on energy for no good reason, or your muscles want to cramp up even though you have enough salt + electolytes.
The true common cold is caused by a rhinovirus, but a lot of other viruses that people refer to as a "cold" will cause the above, such as... just about every virus that has circulated so far this year.
If you drink as much gatorade as you can stand for the first couple of days that you just barely start to feel that you're coming down with something, it may stop you from getting sick.
I've started to keep germ wipes in my car, my house, and my locker at work. I do not touch my face, just like a restaurant worker, unless my hands are washed and about to be washed again... I think it helps.

Every time I get a sore throat I know right then I'm getting a cold. But everyone is different.

Anyone who said it varies or that it's different for everybody is correct. The initial symptoms are not the same for all people and may not be the same with every cold for the same person.

For me it's feeling run down and a little scratchiness in the throat.

my nasal passage gets really soft and "moist", but not quite enough for a runny nose, and being very sneezy.
