Default Strange sound

Hi Guys,

im going to take the vet to the dealer for some max work but I noticed tonight a very strange sound when shifting into drive. It almost sounds like metal plates grinding on each other then stopping. I tried to make a video of the sound and I can hear it but it's very faint.

Does anyone have any ideas on what the sound is before I take it to the dealer?

sorry for the engine revs at the beginning of the video

When I was shifting from reverse to drive on the side. You can see the wheels move. The best examples was on the inside though at 2:24 and 2:28. Just after I shifted. It's very strange. I've never heard it before but it doesn't sound right. I haven an apt at the dealer for some mx. I've asked them to check the sound out as well.
