Weird "boing" spring noise when first starting car ('02 I35)

It doesn't happen every single time, but it happens often.

After starting the car and putting it into Drive, I'll hear a weird "boing" noise as soon as I press the accelerator. It sounds like the noise you hear when you flick those little springy door stoppers behind a door.

I've got an '02 I35 Sport. Any thoughts?

That happens to me every time I see a hot girl walking by.

I've never seen a white A33 I30/I35 in person, but damn that looks nice.

n3985 nailed it. It's the ABS self-test that occurs when you first start and move the car.
