Hi guys, i just noticed this whining noise during cold start, it happens for about a few seconds and goes away. It only happens on cold start though not when the engine is warm. I just want to hear from your personal experiences cause some sayS it’s normal and some says there’s an issue on the water pump. My car is 2015 and has 87,000kms(about 54,000 miles) Video is on the link below for your reference:

Sounds exactly like mine on startup. Don’t worry about the water pump until you start losing coolant.
Nice intake by the way.

Speaking of strange engine noises, what's with all the robot noises everytime I open the door when the car is off?

Even when the engine is cold?
This makes more sense to me (in my very limited mechanical knowledge)
