Default Cold start engine grind

I have a 2007-3 and recently I am noticing a sound which is likened to a gear grinding noise. If the car is turned off and restarted the noise is not repeatable. If it sits over night the sound is repeated.
11K miles
Thoughts?

Thanks.
Tim

Sound of the valvetrain when deprived of oil. Normal like others said. Happens to me occasionally.
