You are probably hearing the super charger engaging. It sounds like a chirp and sometimes yields a slight jerk. Unfortunately it is normal, it is the clutch pack on the super charger engaging.

Ahhhh....... the famous supercharger chirb...... If your car is still under warranty, the dealer can upgrade some parts to help minimize the sound and smooth the engagement of the supercharger clutch.
