Hmm.. Interesting to hear people hearing that sound on the right side....but that might be because of the difference in driver sides? (HK's on the right).
Automatics can't be started without stepping on the brakes. Stepping on the brakes trips the relay that allows ignition. The same relay allows you to shift out of park.

I'd bet that you hear this sound when you step on the brakes to start the car - right?
