I've noticed that when I turn on the car, I can hear a buzzing noise (or humm) from the engine in my smart car. After about 5 minutes or so the noise goes away. I'm guessing its a fan or something but don't know why a fan would turn on when its 20 something outside.
It's the emissions pump, which pumps air into the exhaust manifold to aid in cleaner burning of the richer fuel mixture when cold and helping the catalytic converter warm up.
It is normal, and your dealer should have told you about it upon delivery of the car.

By the time I reached the next block I had forgotten all that he had told me
