I have a five year old Carrier 38TXA (puron).

I have it checked once a year, and it just passed about a month ago.

One thing I noticed this week is that when it starts up, I hear the fan
go on, and then about 5 seconds later I hear a different noise that
goes for about 2 seconds. It sounds like something is engaging or
starting up with the fan (some extra drain on the system or motor).

Question: Is this normal? If not, is there something I should have
checked?

This is not normal, in fact it is down right dangerous. You need to
pack the entire family up and get the hell out of there!

It sounds like that is the compressor trying to start or starting, the
start however is being delayed for dsome reason. There may be some
information available for that here

...then came that rumble, way down in the ground.
And as smoke and gas belched out of that mine,
everybody knew it was the end of the line...
