Correct

Sorry I didn´t give any background.

So noise is just at cold start, then when engine is warmed, it completely goes away

It's either the belt and pulley or secondary guide rails (was the latter for me). Take it in and see what the dealer has to say about it.

Yep, was told the same, it could be the belt.

Something should I be worried about? Was it an easy fix for you?

Thanks a lot

I had this sound a year ago and I brought it to the dealer twice to get it resolved. All in all they replaced my ac belt, idler pulley, and belt tensioner but then the weather got warm and the sound went away. Just recently when it got cold it happened again but not on every cold start (7 out of 10 cold starts it occurs).

That's your pulley and aircon belt. Same thing happened to mine.
Once you change it, it'll be gone 👍
