1992 Honda Accord start-up sound is a low gurgle rumble grind

I have a 1992 Honda Accord and it is making a weird gurgling rumbleing grinding sound at start-up. It is not making the usual high pitched ignition start-up it use to do. It almost sounds like something isn't plugged in right. I just had the main relay and wires to the relay replaced. It started up fine before I took it home after the repairs. It also started fine 3 or 4 times after that. But after being outside at my work for 5 hours it had this terrible sound! And it is still there after being cooled off in a parking garage over night. I feel like something is going to break if I keep turning it on like it is sounding. At least it starts now. Any ideas on what's wrong?

Brakes make a whistle noise when applied and sometimes a low grown or grinding when coming to a slow stop or start.

A grinding or rumbling noise can also be symptoms of a wheel bearing or constant velocity joint in a driveshaft. A worn wheel bearing can also cause a 'whistling' sound (as can a worn CV joint).

A grinding noise with brakes is either worn pads causing metal to metal contact on the brake disk/rotor, or the brake backing plate catching on a spinning rotor ... or a loose/missing anti squeal brake shim (they stop the pads from rattling and vibrating).

However, as you say a mechanic has looked at the brakes and can't find anything wrong .. I think I would begin to suspect a wheel bearing or constant velocity joint on the driveshaft (front wheel drive cars).

What might be experienced by transaxil/transmission bearings wear? Rumbling or vibrations?

Kia is bad with wheel bearings ;.About 80 to 100k they start going bad. You have to check them physically with a dial gauge or know how to inspect them in other manners. They cause a rumbling sound when they start to go bad.

My engine is making a gurgling grinding sound near

Is the coolant system completely full? It may have air in the system and what you are hearing is the air trying to pass the water pump.
You could also be hearing the valves and air flow through throttle body.
