EcoBoost?
Is it the vacuum pump running? While starting? After starting?

Vacuum pump may be getting noisy. If it quits it is an easy repair, do it yourself, get pump from Rock Auto.

Engine oil low. Does it more often when cold outside.

You have the dreaded timing chain stretch / phaser issue. Sounds like this is affecting all ecoboosts through mid - 2015 when the phasers were redesigned... Due to all these issues.
