C240 Whiny Warmups?

I have a 2002 C240 and ever since I bought it, I noticed that during cold weather (cold for SoCal) warmups, the car is whiny until it's been fully warmed up 15 minutes or so.

When I say whiny, you know that sound that cars make when driving in reverse kinda like a gokart or electric car sound? My car is like that at warmup but even at idle. Is this normal?

Dang, that's normal?

I was in vegas @ Bellagio and there were about 100 people all waiting for valet so they were backed up pretty bad and when they pulled up my car it's sorta embarassing cuz not what you expect a Benz to sound like.

What happened to German 'quality'?

ok here are the reasons....

1. is a C-class
2. 2.4 liter
3. from year 2000-2006 Mercedes didn't make their car
4. you've never heard the sound of my C230 Kompressor Engine sound... worse than all....
