Default Single metallic ping song when starting.

Have a 2017 3.5EB in my F150 screw. When it's cold out and the truck has sat overnight there is a single metal "ping" sound that comes from the engine when it starts. It comes at/about the time that the starter disengages and truck starts.
I think is the starter solenoid disengaging.

There is no rattle or knocking at anytime and the truck runs normal etc.

The sound is similar to a metal driver hitting a golf ball off the tee.

Anyone have this or have any idea what it is? Truck has 1400 miles on it currently but it's done it since I got it with 3 miles

*title should say "sound". Lol

Thanks
