    There's never been an issue with a strange sound like this... Do you have warning lights on your dashboard? If so than you have error codes explaining the problem. If you don't have warning lights on your dashboard then it's probably nothing to worry about.

    Different sounds are weird to different people.

    Have you had the car for a while, and if so: has the sound changed recently, or it was always thus?
