I believe my car may have made a noise similar to what you described... I think it must have been when it was colder, because I haven't heard it in a while. What I think it is - the solenoid is not resetting quickly when the starter is disengaged, causing the starter to spin up a little when the engine actually turns over.

It appears to have gone away... and the above is only my theory on the noise.
