Engine whine/whimper/grind? on startup in cold

So the last couple days its been extremely cold here in DC metro area, and have noticed a whine/high pitched grind for like half a second when starting the car up. I turned car off again this morning and was able to reproduce a second time.

I just had Inspection II done, new plugs installed, coolant/brake flush so I dont think it should be the plugs

anyone seen this before and know what it is? Should it be corrected ASAP?

Thanks!
