I think it defaults as muted but I included sound. Pardon the party music, the construction guys near the parking lot were having a blast today lol. Anyway. It's been cold as fuck the past couple days and this noise only happens on start after sitting several hours cold. I'm guessing either starter or belts but haven't gone investigating yet.

Was thinking starter but (admittedly have poor quality on mobile) this makes sense too.

This time of year its pretty safe blaming batteries. The temp goes down and all the marginal cells show up.

You are correct, battery problems are rampant this time of year, just not hearing it in this video but, being from canola land I'm guessing you've probably dealt with plenty of cold weather related battery issues
