That's your fan. The viscous clutch will engage briefly when you first start up after sitting for several hours until the oil gets redistributed. It's normal.

What ronnie said... plus... You could hear that noise (engaged fan-clutch) on a hot day while driving in stop-n-go traffic in town, or while towing up grades in warmer weather. It's a good sound.... :)
