Knocking ticking sound on cold starts when frigid.

Hi all, I hope everyone is doing well.
I would like to ask if anyone has an idea of what could be the cause of that sound? I just noticed this not long ago and it only happens when the temperature is below 20° F only for like five minutes after the engine warms up the noise goes away. I did the timing belt service 5k miles ago all related parts Honda OEM
the only thing that wasn’t replaced was the drive belt tensioner. Have anyone experienced something similar? Thank you in advance.
