Engine whine at startup - 2004 XC70

    When starting the engine, it makes a loud (very loud) whining sound. It
    tends to last 10-15 seconds, then stops. I was told it is the vacuum system
    (sounds like it may be an airpump of some sort), but it seems awfully loud
    to be part of the design.

    Has anyone else encountered this?

    Thanks.

    Your car is still under warranty. If the dealer claims the noise is
    normal, get them to show you one of their demos that makes the same
    noise. If, as one would expect, it's not a normal noise, ask them to
    fix it.
