Winter start up noise

Is anyone out there getting this loose nut vibrating noise in the winter when you start your car below 30 F? The noise gets louder when i turn the heat up. For some reason after the car warms up for a bit the noise goes away....

Any idea on fixing this?

It almost sounds like the fan running but the screw is not tighten or it's lose.... at first i thought the radiator is hitting against the fan when it's running but this noise only happens during the cold weather start like the abs clicking noise.

It seems these Mercedes always make weird sounds when it's cold out. My 02' Sportcoupe did, and so does the C32...
