One way to find out. Fill up your power steering pump. It could be the
hydraulics if there isn't enough fluid.

Subject: DML: cold 4.7 noise
Hey everyone,
When its COLD, say below zero, when I first start my truck
there is a brief noise that lasts a couple of seconds. It
sounds like a kind of honk, but its not the horn. It lasts
until the oil pressure rises close to normal. The sound
reminds me of a bilge pump when it runs out of water to
pump. So I just checked all the fluids, and had plenty of
everything but power steering fluid. It was a little below
the ADD mark. What the heck makes this noise?
Is it the power steering pump because of the below normal
fluid level? Anyone?
