Default Strange sound some seconds after cold start

Hi all,

in the last few days with rainy and colder summer weather my XK has made a quite strange sound approx. 10 seconds after cold start, when starting to maneuver out of the parking lot.

The sound it makes for a seconds or so reminds me of the skype-app opening sound (second 4 to 6 here:

Sounds like a joke, but seriously thats what is sounds like. But it doesn’t seem to be a sound from the stereo or so - I guess it could be from the air condition or the vents moving or similar.

Anyone had something like this?

Is the stereo on or off when this happens? Do you have a BT music dongle plugged in somewhere? Some of them make a little R2D2 noise when booting up.

Duct work opening...

You do know that you should let the engine warm up at least 30 seconds and before driving away?

Duct work? 30 seconds is certainly a good idea...

yes, Bt dongle is connected. Could be.
The sound came up only the last two days after start up in the morning.
