Default S70 funny sound coming from under the hood

When the car is cold, a strange motor or something revs up and carries on for a minute or so, then slowly winds down. It hasn't had any effects on the engine (that I know of) but it's loud, and sometimes it will do this at a stop light, but not for as long. Anyone know what this can be?

Sounds like something that has just gotten noisy. I have a simular thing with my 960. Not bad, just a little noise during warm up. Try not to worry about it.
