My truck makes this concerning grinding/creaking noise on a cold start when shifting from reverse into drive.

Has anyone else experienced this before? I couldn't find anything on here about it (unless of course, I'm an idiot). After driving for a bit, like if I go to the store, it doesn't make the noise.
Is this something with the transmission or the transmission fluid? I've had it at Toyota multiple times for services and other things and they have never said anything about it. Some mechanic friends have told me it's normal and nothing to be worried about but still.
