Listen closely and make sure it's NOT your stereo head unit. Mine does this from time to time as it tries to read the disc in the unit. I have the head unit with NAV.

It sounds like a "TAK-TAK-TAK-TAK-TAK-TAK-TAK" sound (if that describes it good enough).

Sometimes long... sometimes for only a half second or so.

I just let my system ride through it. Only once have I gotten a "Disc cannot be read" error on the head unit. I simply ejected the disc, removed it and then re-inserted it and let the unit take it. Seated and spun up right away.

Hope that helps.
I get the sound with the stereo off ... it does sound like its behind the glove box.
