Default Ignition Switch Noise When Starting

There is a noise that happens when I turn the key. It can only be described as a sharp click sound...it is NOT any of the electric motors beginning their job when the key is on. This noise doesn't happen all the time (about 90%) of the time. Almost sounds like what you would hear if you tried to start the car after it was already running, but much more muted and quiet. Friends tell me not to worry and who cares.....I say....hmmm...does anybody else notice this sound? If you turn the key all the way without starting the car it does it was well.

Otherwise....love the car!
