Is this normal?

Two things that seem a little strange to me.
A. Whenever I open the door, a few seconds later there is a humming noise similar to a power antenna going up or down. It only lasts a few seconds but I cannot figure out where it comes from or what it would be for.
B. When starting the jeep, I turn the key and it almost seems like a slight delay before it actually turns over. It is almost like it is reading the key, then it executes starting. Either way, it certainly isnt an instantaneous turn key hear starter...there is the slightest of delay.
Are these normal or strange gremlins????

The humming is actually coming from the engine compartment, I've had the hood open and heard it and saw something move at teh top of the block, though I have no idea what it is. I'm guessing something to do with the electronics. The start delay is because the starter is computer controlled, not mechanical where you actually have to turn the key. I'm suprised no one has come out with an aftermarket push to start button, you'd just need the key near the ignition to read the sentry code.
