What is this noise?

There are 2 other threads dedicated to this sound. Unfortunately there’s no fix yet, with mixed results playing with transmission fluid levels and a software update advised in a Ford TSB.

Appreciate the info! Does sound very similar but mine isn’t a powerboost just 3.5 eco tremor. Have you heard of other trim levels with the sound?

What do you think of the second noise/video with the-pinging noise for couple seconds? That happens regardless of temp and always just a few seconds.

Not sure about the noise in your second video. Upon listening to your first video again, you may have a slightly different cold start rattle, so perhaps a different issue than those other 2 threads I linked. I have about 3 other different noises that mysteriously appear in cold weather that I can’t figure out either.

Call me old-school, but unless you consider a vehicles lifetime to be 100k miles, there is no such thing as lifetime fluids.

I didn't realize Ford has this too. When I was looking at Rams I found it pretty off-putting that the salesman was trying to tell the the transmission doesn't have to be serviced. My GM was a 14, not sure about the new ones, but it still had a dipstick. I drove that truck to 362,000 km. Pretty sure it would need to be serviced.
