Please help.

Is it kind of like a "Screech" sound? I have heard it before when starting in cold climate - not always however. It almost sounds similar to a conventional manual key type ignition when the key is held in the start postion, after the engine has turned over.
These cars can be tempermental. If your car does it all the time, take it to your dealer so that you can show them by duplicating the issue/sound. Otherwise they probably will subject you to hours of reprogramming, because I doubt this will trigger any error codes if it happens on an intermittent basis.
just my two cents
