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.
