I believe it is normal. My former car made the noise too but only at a few millimeters past position 2. These sounds are associated with the different components powering up to start and run the vehicle (Fuel Pump, Idle Speed Motor, Frequency Valve, etc.) Most owners probably never hear them because they are drowned out by the starter.
