Electric fan noise on cold start w/defroster on?

I've got a noise coming from the engine that started up (or at least I only noticed it now) when I start the car on a cold morning and turn on the defroster for the windshield. I took a quick video to catch the sound:

Could this be the electric fan bearing going out, or something else? I've never noticed it when the weather is hot & I run the A/C, nor when the engine has warmed up. The belt and all 90K service was done @ about 92K and I've had no problems with this since then. I'm @ about 97K now.
