Strange startup noise

Hey guys, my car makes this sound every time I startup the car. It is coming from the region where the camera is pointed. Anyone have any idea what this sound is and if it's normal? Thanks!

Sounds like the ABS motor. You can actually see the brake fluid getting lower.

Yeah a lot of cars use vacuum brake boosters for power brakes. These cars don't have that and use an electric motor and accumulator to store brake fluid at high pressure.
