very strange noise

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...oid=2037820699

ok so thats a link to my noise....turn your volume up its a little low.....what im doing here is turning the key to the ON position, you hear that first noise, then i turn the key to OFF and pull it out, and you hear that second noise. the camera is pointed right under the intake bc that seems to me where the noise is coming from. anyone know what the hell this is?

It's the Idle Air Control Valve operating. It's normal.

You kinda have to listen for it with the hood up. Normally you just get in and start the engine, and you won't hear it and on shutdown, with other noises going on you won't hear it, unless you try. It's when it doesn't make "the noise", that's when you've got problems. The FSM calls it a "BUZZZ" sound. Whatever!
