Default when car is first started one time noise when steering

okay has this ever happend to anyone? when i cold start my car and reverse and turn out of my driveway, when i go to drive away as a straighten out my wheels and proceed to drive straight. as im straigtening them out i hear a slight "errrrr" noise (to a very good discription lol) alomost like if u were trying to force fluid thru a kinked line or something. it only ever happends on cold start when u initially give the wheel a good turn and then when u proceed to straighten it out while driving this occurs :/ any ideas what it maybe or if its ever happend to any of you.

my bumper to bumper is comming to an end so trying to isolate some quircks see if i can get them taken care of.

It's the ABS pressurizing itself. This is normal if it doesn't happen more than once per drive.

Actually, it's the ABS doing a self-test. It's mentioned in the owner's manual, too.

i'm pretty sure it does it when you pass a certain mph (which happens to be really low)
