Default Ignition start

My "top end" ignition sounds off.

As many of us press the button. It starts up. VROOM.

Mine however, randomly starts fine, but it's those times when the ignition at the top end sounds a bit shuttery and at the end it holds a 1/2 second long.

Should go VROOM. but mine now goes VROOMM. it's just held a bit long at the end with a bit of "not so smooth" sound.

Why. It didn't before. Go to dealer? I'll hate it when they can't replicate the sound b/c it's on random starts.

I'v gotten all the recalls done on my car besides the steering and I still hear this noise from time to time. I'm thinking of recording it to make sure they know the sound when I bring it to them.
