sorry for the pic, but once it started, i wanted to make sure that the sound came thru, so i tried to get as close to the sound as possible. is that the consensus then? the ELC Compressor? i want to take it in to the dealership [its under warranty] and get them to fix it, as its my contention that my car should not be making that noise.

I believe that sounds like the ELC compressor... You may hear a click on and off inside the car for the ELC Relay... Not sure if you have a problem...
Does it run all of the time or for a brief amount of time...?

GAH! Mine does that exact same thing too. I was just going to ignore it because it wasn't causing any problems. 
It happens right after it is started up...usually in the morning after it'* been sitting for a while. Doesn't last more then 30 seconds. One morning I started it and my dad was shoveling snow behind the car. He asked me WTF my car was doing.
The noise comes from the rear end of the car too.
