Default Traction Control Sound

Whenever it is snowy out and I press the accelerator I get this clunking sort or sound. I'm not sure if its normal or not. I'm pretty sure it is the brakes, and is a result of Traction Control trying to stop the wheels from spinning because when I turn off VSC there is no sound.

I's call it more of a ticking noise, I notice it a lot, it is more meant as a warning that the car is intervening. I've also gotten a beeping noise when the car has nearly gotten out of control on ice and slick stuff, but thankfully no serious incidents. Close calls maybe, but my dad is the only one to have wreaked it, but that was 4 years ago.
