When swittching on or of there is a grinding noise which lasts for aprox five seconds
SOURCE: Sony a350. Camera motor makes grinding noise when
A few years ago that noise was extremely common on almost all body motor driven AF lenses, and it's not exactly uncommon these days.
Your kit lens is not bad, but it is built down to a price as a get-you-started measure. It's not built as well as the upgrade alternatives and is certainly not built to last nor with repairs in mind.
Your fix is to eventually replace your lens, preferably with one which has a built in motor which will be near silent and far faster to focus. Note that if your lens has become harder work for your camera body focus motor to operate then it will put an extra strain on the motor and can shorten it's lifespan.
