Help please this noise is driving me nuts...

It is a buzz noise that is about a second long and happens twice. It only does it when I start moving after I start the car. It wont again till I shut off the car then restart and put in drive or reverse and start moving again. The noise is generated from the drivers side of the engine compartment and is loud enough to hear inside the car over the stereo. Since it only happens when im moving its impossible to track it down... I HATE ABNORMAL NOISES IN MY CAR!!!! sorry for yelling.

someone please help

I wondered what that sound was too when I got my TL, until I read posts on here. Normal sound.

It doesn't seem like it should be loud enough to hear over the stereo though. i can only hear mine if I'm crouched near the outside of the car.
