Engine noise

Have been trying to identify some engine noise and noticed that there are many posts here regarding whirring or whining that could be similar to mine.
I have a noise on start up that lasts for 20 seconds or so and then a continuous whining that is related to engine speed.
The usual suspects seem to be aux belt idler, power steering pump or alternator so I removed the aux belt.
Unfortunately when I started the engine there was no change so I would be grateful for any other suggestions.

I have a whining for a minute or so when starting on a cold morning.. I thought it would just be the oil pump in the sump working a bit harder due to the increased Viscosity of the oil.

My completely perfect 26000 mile, 1 lady owner 197 did the exact same. So it can't be a bad thing!

Yeah pretty much the same as that, I wouldn't worry yourself with it!

My car has recently had its belts and dephaser changed by DTM cars Newcastle, if it was something to worry about they would of for sure let me know!
