Let me try to reproduce the sound....BRRRRAAAAAAAAACCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!
Annoying isn't it?  Mine makes that sound, and according to other owners,
it's normal.  I get it a lot with the Eagle GA tires, when I'm starting to
accelerate from a complete stop and the anti-slip kicks in because those
tires are pathetic in the snow.  You'll get used to it.
