Default Transmission or something creaking when cold.
2012 Mazda 6 hatchback (Australia). When the engine is cold and start off in the morning, I can hear a creak from the engine bay.

Can be easily reproduced by just changing gears.

Video of sound:

Weird thing for me is that it doesn't make the noise when it warms up.

Sorry should have said it is an auto. Engine feels normal just that rattle.

Your audio clip isn't great. I would book it in with a mechanic or transmission shop.
