Whistle sound upon startup

When I start my 8 from cold, I get a whistle sound from engine bay area for 30-60 seconds then it disappears. It doesn't seem like a performance issue. Any ideas on what it could be?

High pitched whine that drops off after a brief time.

Smog pump bearings.

Is there any fix or is it even something to worry about?
