HELP: 01' civic EX whinning noise ONLY on cold starts. 66K

hello. i have a 01 civic ex with 66,000mi and ive been hearing a whinning noise whenever i start the car for the first time in the morning or whenever its cold. it comes from the engine!

the motor is bone stock now! recent tranny and oil change.

i dont remember hearing this noise befor but i started realizing it after 60k miles. it goes away after the car is warm.

anyone know whats causing that noise? how to get rid of it? thanks!
