Default weird sound on start

This is very weird. When I hit the starter button, just the very instance you hit it, I get a strange sound that sounds like its coming from the area of the intake or maybe air cleaner. It is similar to when you pour gas in the burn barrel or on a pile of wood you want to burn. That initial woosh you get when the gas lights up. It just started doing it this year. Generally the first time you start it that day. WTF ?
Do you think there could be an injector bleeding down after sitting a few days ? I'm pretty much baffled by this. Any way to test this or something someone else knows of ?
