Default Cold Weather Starts

I live in Canada and I've just recently heard my 06 V6 making a kind of high-pitched whining noise when I start it after the engine is cold, say, -10 C (around 14 Fahrenheit). The high pitched noise comes at the end of the start sequence (that is, pretty much as the engine actually starts and I can stop turning the key), and then for the next two seconds or so I can hear the high pitched noise if I rev the engine. After that, it goes away completely, and even if I rev the engine there is no more noise. If I start the engine when the air temperature is warm, or if it has been running somewhat-recently and is still warm, no noise at all during the start up or at any point after that.

Has anybody else living in cold climates noticed this, or might there be something wrong with my Pony?
