Default WHAT is this Noise!

A weird whine has started to happen the past 3 times I started up my car after it sat till it was atleast all the way cool. It goes away after i drive it for about a min. I'd like to say its prob the gears, I'm hopeing its not the transmission because it did it in reverse as well.
Any ideas?

Does it sound like its coming from the rear or what? It could be the power steering pump.

Is it a whine or more of a whistle? It could be a partially plugged check air valve.

If it only happens right after startup, it's possible that it's the gas pump. The gas pump runs high after a cold startup, and stays for about a minute. Once the pump normalizes, the idle RPM drops from about 800 to 600. Take note of whether the whine goes away at the same time the idle RPM shifts.
