Faint sound when starting up the engine.

After I turn on the car, there is the slightest whirring sound like something spinning that I never noticed before. And when the car moves, it speeds up. I know cars have spinning parts and they make noises, but I never noticed this sound until recently. Is this normal? Do you hear this, too?
