Default Strange Sound

I have a question for anyone that can help.
I have an exceptional '93 that is truly in pristine shape with only 16,000 miles. Runs like a charm and is serviced , professionally, regularly.
When I first get started , before accelerating, when rolling at idle speed, I get a slight winding/buzzing sound under the floor that lasts about one second.
It happens under the right rear floor or under the left front floor. No predictability. No adverse affect.
Any ideas?
Thanks

My 87 does a self test on the abs system at 4 mph. Sounds like yours does too.

that speed is about exactly right, could explain the front and rear alternating?

Does the same sound happen in reverse? If so, it may be the ABS system. My '89 does it when I hit about 3-5mph.
