yeah what your describing is the ABS system charging at startup. although its not really a whining noise, its more of a buzzing in my opinion .. and it doesnt happen at the actual startup, just after your put it in drive and start moving.
Does it happen just at startup's after the car's been cold and sitting for a while? It usually doesnt happen at warm startups .. when the car's been driven for a few hours, sits for 5 mins, then gets started up again ..

still a Masshole
noobs! Just kidding. Its normal and should happen everytime the car starts up. Once when you put it in drive and another when you start rolling at about 10mph. Other cars do the same (my buddy's G35 6-speed sedan does it too....funny I had to tell him what it was)
