Grinding when starting

I did my obligatory search but nothing jumped at me.

Every time when I first start my car, then hit the accelerator (doesn't matter if it's drive or reverse) I feel and hear a grinding on my foot, lasts about 5 seconds. Is it VSA?

Wow...you're asking this now? I believe that's the ABS pump doing a self test. Try a search on ABS pump and you'll find it.

Yeah, actually I just started noticing it recently and I read some people having brake rotor issues. But if it's normal then

I've noticed this before too, it's almost like one of your tires is rubbing, or you ran over something.

I notice it occasionally - ABS engaging. It definitely doesn't last 5 seconds though.
