It is possible, since it happens shortly after the car starts to move, that it is the ABS system doing a self-check.
Some people hear it, others don't. Some cars are louder than others, even of the same make and model.
If this is what the noise is, it is a normal function.

'05 Avalon power mirror memory problem by jeffcarp
Dec 30, 2005 (12:05 pm)

Anyone else having a problem with erractic behavior of the driver's side mirror, when using it with the memory seat presets? I have a mirror position assigned to memory seat A and a different position assigned to memory seat B. I've reset both positions to make sure they were still assigned.
 
Basically, when memory seat A or B is selected, the mirror moves to various positions erratically and usually NOT to the preset position. Sometimes it moves only a very small amount and it takes continually pushing of the memory seat button to get it to finally move to the preset definition. Other times, the mirror moves a large amount to some bizarre position like slanted completely towards the car.
 
I have a dealership appointment but wondered if this might be as simple as pulling a fuse to reset a computer. Anyone know what fuse in the '05 Avalon might make sense to pull and try?

While at the beach I turned on the wipers which left a bunch of fine scratchs from sand(can not be felt with fingernails)on my 2000XL. Has anyone had any luck buffing these out? If so, what product did you use? TIA

Memory Outside Mirrors w/puddle LED Turn Signal by usaid98

Question to the group. Can you change out XLS mirrors (Dual Heated outside with drivers for the memory outside mirrors w/Puddle LED turn signal indicators?) At the dealer to day for a different problem with my 06, I noticed when they were repairing my seal problem with my door,the access to the mirrors was very easy. My question is - does the wires going to the mirrors(XLS) work with mirrors w/Puddle LED turn signal indicators? Any insight into this problem is most welcome. Thanks.

Laser Cruise control by wkobus

The paint on the laser box receiver on the passanger side of the bumper has the paint pealing. This paint looks like a non reflective flat paint to keep sunlight from causing problems with the reflected radar single. Brought it to Toyota to have it painted again and got the car back with all the black paint removed. Are my assumption correct - that it need to be painted with non-reflective black paint and Toyota screw up or that its o.k. for it to be shiny white paint?

Avalon Front End Paint Pitting by bobwiley
Mar 14, 2006 (5:34 pm)

I read in one of the forums about someone complaining about the 'quality" of the paint on their Avalon. I have an 06 Silver Pine Mica Limited. We just returned from a 900 mile trip and since we encountered rain, I wanted to wash the car. This is when I discoverd excessive pitting on the front end. The car has only been driven 2,000 miles and never on a dirt road. And, I always maintain a significant distance when following cars or trucks to preclude front end damage from flying debris. I did write to Toyota. Day after I bought the car, I had it professionally waxed. Just wondered if anyone else was having the same problem. thanks!

Some manufacturers discourage waxing their new cars until the paint is about 3 months old and has had the chance to fully cure. I don't know Toyota's recommendation but, in any case, waxing may be unrelated to your pitting problem.

Thanks! It just seems odd that the paint on a $39,000 car would "chip" so easily. I'll see what Toyota has to say. Far less expensive cars with mileage over 30,000 don't have the chipping I've encoutered.

This problem is really nothing new for Toyota. I now own a 2006 Avalon Limited with, luckily, no chip problems. However, I had a 2001 Solara SLE-V6 convertible and ended up with a lot of hood chips. The Solara board at that time was full of complaints re: this problem. Apparently this is not something that is important to Toyota.
