Meganes Sport Coupe Noise At startup

when i start my megane from the passenger side at the front, under the windscreen area and above the glove box, I hear a whining noise with several thud like noises, as those something is trying to spin or kick in but getting stuck. After about 5 seconds the noise stops. When I stop engine and slam my door shut i hear a thud noise in the same area. What could this be. Someone said it might be heating.***65279;
