Default cold start whine noise, what is it? 2012 crew

i have been searching but i must not be using the correct search words. I'm sure this a common problem but i can't find any information.

i found this video of the noise. the video is not mine but the noise is the same, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Yikes, that does sound scary. Almost sounds like some sort of harmonic resonance rather than a physical rubbing or something.
