Default Strange door creaking sound when using heater?

Since a couple days ago it's been getting cold in WA so I used my heater instead of a/c/ in the morning. When I turned on the heater and started putting the temp up, it made a sound like a really old door creaking. It went on for like 2-3 seconds. Happened again today. Anyone else have experience with this? Heater worked fine and all, I'm guessing it's not a big deal but just really weird I guess.

Mine does that too. I think it's the servo motor. It only does it on my first start up of the day, it seems, so it's gonna be hard to replicate at the dealer.
