3rd winter with my '12 and when it gets below 20F on cold start when de accelerating I get a whining noise for the first 2-3 stops before car warm-ups.
It drives me nuts, it's like a cat looking for a male .
This guy has same problem with a 07:

Anyone can pinpoint the cause?

Thank You

My wife's 2011 CVT Outback doesn't make this noise, but my 2011 CVT Legacy sure does.

I have no idea what causes the noise...
