Power steering grinding noise, dealer can't find issue. (see attached video)

I hear grinding noise from the power steering of my GLE 350 2018 when I use the car after more than 4-5 days. It makes the noise only the first time I turn the steering to the left or right, even before I switch to reverse or drive. The noise appears to be coming from under the hood, not from something inside the cabin. I do let the vehicle warm up. No noise for any subsequent turning of the steering wheel. See attached video. Left the car at dealership, had them make it sit for 5 days and they say they didn't hear any noise when they tested it and don't see anything wrong with the steering. I have tested it 3 times at my home and it did make the noise each time I had it sit for more than 4-5 days. Can someone please advise?
Also created youtube video if you cant play the attachment-

Our tires will sound like that when a little wet and slowly turning on our epoxy garage floor. Just a guess, maybe the tires are sticking to the floor after a few days and sort of break loose on the first couple turns?
