Whine on startup?

Noticed there is a whine or something when starting my 1.8 16v from cold. Best I can describe is like a supercharger whine? It's when idling.
Goes after being warmed up for a few mins. Ideas? Ash
Opinions are like bumholes. Everyone has one, and we all think everyone elses stinks.

I think its just a characteristic of the engine as my old one was like that and i believe Grants one was as well.

it'll be a tensioner somewhere down in the belts, or a belt too tight maybe?

Very likely be a tensioner mate? Can you start the car and get ya head under the bonnet to try to pinpoint the area where the sound originates?
