Strange noise after ignition

My 2013 automatic LS (40k miles) is making a weird grind/winding noise immediately after I start it. It doesn't happen every start. Usually only if it's been off for awhile.

I tried to record it. You might have to turn your volume up a bit:
If anyone's experienced this before or has an idea of what it might be I'd really appreciate your insight.

Low oil pressure on startup?

What is your oil level like? When was the last time it and your filter were changed?

It sounds like a sympathetic vibration to me. There was a known problem with lines attached to the firewall that would vibrate under certain circumstances. I'd like to hear what it sounds like in the engine compartment.
