There's a very high pitched whine on starting

I don't know if this is normal or not ( just got the car ) but when I'm cranking the engine (last 3 days) I can hear a very high pitched squeal. Its almost like the sound from a dog whistle.Its not at all loud, but I can hear it okay. I wait till the pre-heater warning has gone off (minus 1 degree), then even before I crank and a few seconds after it starts I can hear this noise. Would it maybe something to do with the parking sensors front or rear ?
