2019 SR+ Motor Noise

Hello,

I bought a used 2019 Model 3 SR+ a couple of months ago and notice the motor, at least I think it's the motor, makes a whining noise when I stop and go. So basically when I step on the pedal and go, there's about about 3-5 seconds of a loud whine. The noise stops once the car is moving along. Again, when I decelerate, the whine comes on for about 3-5 seconds right before the car comes to a stop. I'm pretty sure it's the motor starting up and making the noise. Is this normal? It's not the whoosh sound when I hard accelerate. I mean it sounds normal but it's just loud. The first month of driving it, I did not notice the noise being that loud but now it is. Should I be concerned? I still have warranty but I just want to know if you guys have this noise to? I don't know anybody else with a Tesla so I can't confirm. Thanks for your input!
