Should I be worried?

Came back from work today and heard this weird sound...The sound went away after a minute. Does anyone know what's making the weird noise?

definitely sounds strange. if it happens again then take it into the dealership with this video as proof.

Take it to the dealer. Not a normal sound at all. Probably nothing serious but it should be fixed. GL

I'm no mechanic and have no experience diagnosing sounds.

With that disclaimer...

It sounds like a pulley or something that needs lubed up a little.

Or you have a leak somewhere and fluid is getting onto a belt. Which in turn is slipping making that sound. It then goes away when the fluid on the belt dries as you drive.

Open the hood and look for wetness. Look underneath the car too.

Ok now I'll subscribe to see if I should get into the automotive repair field lol!
