does anyone else get a shh shh shh noise at tickover when cold? it is too slow to be the aux belt, i hope it isnt the cam chain or a pulley bearing

it doesnt start right away maybe 30 seconds after startup and then it is there for a few mins, you only hear it if you drive the car 1/4 mile and then get out, if you get back in and drive some more till it is a bit warmer the noise goes away completely, when it is doing the noise and if you rev the engine the noise speeds up so is pulley belt or chain related.

i will keep my eye on it till my 1st service in october, the trouble is even though the dealer is a mile away from my house the noise will have gone away by the time i get there

here is a video of the noise, it is the shh shh shh noise on top of the normal engine sound, the car has 5000 miles on it
