When you back up the ABS does a diagnostic check. It actives and pulses. Sometimes it sounds like a grinding, sometimes it sounds like a thump from the front wheels.

Duh! But actually when I bought my car the salesman told me something was wrong with the car when it did that. I for some reason instinctively didn't believe this since everything else was perfect. Guess I was right.

Ya, I have the same thing with my car. It happens for me at exactly 4 mph in either reverse or drive. Anyways, I brought it to the dealership to have it logged and checked and they said the same thing; that it was the ABS doing a self check. Hope that helps!

I always heard it, but never thought twice about it. I come from RX-7's, I'm used to all sorts of crazy/weird/annoying sounds
