Whistling Noise at startup?

Ok I notice in the mornings when I start my car after about 5 seconds a low whistling noise kicks in. It's one of those noises where no one else will probably hear it but because it's my car and I know the sound of it I notice it. Anyone else notice this on their cars?
Just curious. Thanks

I get that once in a while. It seems to be a cold start phenomenon. Because I don't hear it for the rest of the day. Maybe the belts need to 'warm up.'? I don't have a good answer.

Re: Whistling Noise at startup?

I was driving in the rain when i pulled up to park on an incline then i heard this whistling noise coming from the engine compartment. I thought it was a big puddle that soaked the interior - however - this sound never went away. I eventually took it to the Nissan dealer and they told me that my ALTERNATOR was failing. So with my extended warranty, they replaced the item. So check your alternator just in case that is the culprit. Good Luck
