It's not a problem it's one of your cooling fans!
 
no the fan seems fine its like a sort of broken alarm sort of sound like a low groan it only lasts about 2 seconds then stops
 
I have it too - it sounds like a far-away foghorn!
I mentioned it to the OPC once and they told me what it was - but I can't remember what...(!)

What you both describe is the same thing I've had since I've had the car.

I don't see what else it could be?
 
It may be the secondary air pump ?
Mine does it on startup and when I'm waiting at the traffic lights, you can see the RPM drop for 2 seconds or so.
