Noise at start only
When it is cold I get a whistling noise which seems to come from under the dash on the driver's side. It goes away after a minute or so. Length of time depends on outside temperature.
It is quite loud and annoying.
Any idea as to what it can be?

Sounds like a jet engine almost? Try popping the hood next time you start it and you should hear it pretty loud from the engine bay. It is probably the air injection pump (which makes a whining sound) which runs for about 30 seconds to a minute, longer if it is cold outside. A lot of people complain about the ECU fan which is located on the drivers side and the fan will sometimes make noises but usually that noise is continuous... I think it is one of those 2 possibilities, take it in to the dealer to be sure.
