The sound come on after I come to a stop then starts for a few seconds then go's away when the car gets above 35 to 40 mph. Does yours do this too?????
i believe what you are hearing is the auxiliary fan stepping up it's RPM's to cope with the increased load of your engine. It's all computer controlled based the engine temperature, so as ZIBBY sez: "no worries" ;-)
