Source of pre-start groan from under the hood?

Turn the ignition key but not so far that the starter motor turns over.
There is a groaning sound that lasts for a few seconds.
Turn the key the rest of the way and itstarts and runs normally.
I'm pretty sure that the sound comes from under the hood. Doesn't happen upon every cold start and once the car is started in the morning does not recur for the rest of the day. I always turn the hvac off before shutting down the engine so that upon start it is "off." Likewise the radio is off and antenna already fully retracted.
Any idea what might produce that sound?
Thanks
