This depends on the type of noise your hearing, a shreiking noise or similar to a car skidding, would say fan/alternator belt.

Tapping noise is normal on start up.

If its a humming noise, and stops after about 5 minutes or so, then that is what i know to be the air dryer, nothing to worry about mine is the same, tigra's also have these.
