engine noise/vibration

hi,
i have an annoying problem...every time i start up my car, put it into gear, and drive for a couple second, i hear 2 'buzzing' noise coming from the engine (sound like its coming from the passenger side). the noise happen one after another, last for about a second. i can also feel a light vibration on the steering wheel when the noice occur. i've had my 03 tl-s for about 8 months and have notice this problem about 1 month after i got it. i was hoping it would just go away but it hasn't. I brought it to the dealer about 2 months ago and the guy told me it could be just my ABS warming up or something. he said it should be fine and that its normal?? i was expecting them to take my car in and fix it but he didn't! should i bring it back and demand them to fix it? the noise is really starting to annoy me.

anyone have any idea what could be the problem or cause?

Its the ABS running a self-diagnostic check. You'll hear the "brrrrrr" when you start moving in D5 and once again around 8-10mph. Your too paranoid...relax and enjoy the car!

tell your friend to take his car into the dealer and make them give him the noise.
