Not sure what this sound is...

Search, Search, Search!
I didn't want to search "Sound" so here it is.
This only happens when I get in my car in the morning or if it has been sitting for awhile. I have an Auto. I start the car and put it in drive. I start moving and give it a little gas and around 1500-1700 rpms it sounds like something engages. It's hard to spell out but it sounds like "Click-Beeeeeee". It did it when I had my Acura CL (Auto). I'm just curious what it is. When I bought the car it never did it. Now it is doing it. Is it a sign that I need to fill something up or replace a fluid? Tranny perhaps. I haven't changed the tranny fluid yet and need to. I have about 49K miles.
Thanks!

Stone

drive belts?

You should have replaced these at 30k along with your differential fluid and ATF.

Thanks Heat.
I bought the car with 38,800 miles. I asked the sales guy what needed to be done and of course he said nothing. I'm going to need new brake pads soon also. Do you know about how much the list you provided might cost? I think the ATF is like $170.
Thanks again!

Belts are $135 and Diff was around $65 at sewell. But if are know a good mechanic the belts are like $20 and it will be much cheaper.

Its insane how much these dealerships charge for this little stuff.

I replaced my belts for $20 total. Just do the labor yourself and save tons of money!
