Sounds like it could be anything with a motor booting up..

Heat sync fan, hard drive, CD-rom, disk drive.  If it is grinding on start up then it may be failing.

The same happened to me.  I opened my comp up and then turned it on to find out it was a CPU heat sink fan.  I replaced and it sounds fine.

2nd choice is most likely your PS fan as someone else mentioned.
