Default cold wheel sound - Please help

My 2000 A4 1.8T makes a whirring sound in the rear of the car under the following conditions:
- Car must be cold and outside temp must be below freezing
- The sound is constant whether or not I put in the Clutch
- After driving for about 10 minutes the sound goes away

Any ideas???

Do you also hear the sound when the car is not moving under the conditions that you have outlined?

No. The car must be moving.
I'm not much of a mechanic but if I were to guess I would think some component of the brake is rubbing something until it heat up.
