so Jim,
is this causing any damage? or is the only problem the noise, couse i dont care about the noise to be honest i just wanna know if its gonna mess anything else up.

What it sounds like is one of the pulley's is resonating, or 'vibrating' due to it's mass being in harmonic with some other vibrations that occur during startup.

I doubt it would be causing damage, although vibrations can be bad.

I'd like to see the TSB about it. I think mine sometimes makes a noise like you're describing, but it seems to be less often now.
