Whip, we saw that alot down here in Texas last winter also. I found that the end of my air filter was vibrating like a drum. Think the cold made it stiff and caused the horn sound till it warmed up.

noise

The sound called a (Hoot) by Ford, is caused by the IAC valve on the right side of the upper air plenum, if your truck is still under warranty they should replace it free. If not , you can take it off (two 8mm Bolts) and clean inside the ports with a good carb cleaner and reinstall
