Default S2000 air pump noise

Just curious to know if the "wining" of the air pump is normal when you initially start up the car. The sound is turbo-like.

Absolutely not! You and your car should never be wining before you drive. Don't you know it is dangerous to drink and drive?

On the other hand, if the air pump is whining when you start up the car, that is normal. Except in the UK, where it should be whinging instead.
