^Nicely done!
I'm guessing you had to let the Droid go for a little ride under the hood?

Sound's a little different from under the hood... or maybe it's the 05/06.
I should record mine and see what it sounds like.

Haha, yeah my '98 was noisy as hell and so is my wife's '02. My brother is driving my old one and it's still running at 150K+. Pretty good considering he does absolutely zero maintenance on it.

Lol turn on your car turn off the music and AC, then when you hit 10-15mph that noise will sound.

I bet you notice it now. Sometimes you can feel it in the pedal too. It kind of freaked me out when I first bought my car. That and the crazy noises the car makes when the traction control kicks in on snow.

Yeah, it does it every time you turn on your car and start moving. It's the ABS system cycling the valves.

^Yep.

It also does it at a given speed.

If you ever by chance accidentally hit the brakes while it's doing it, it feels really strange, almost like the ABS is engaging.
