Default Engine whirring/whir sound on idle

I tried searching the forums and haven't really found anything on this, but I'm hearing a high-pitched whirring sound coming from the engine when idling. It goes away when revving. Sometimes, the sound is not there when idling, but it is there more often than not.

I've recorded the sound and uploaded it here:

Normal? Should I schedule a visit with the dealer? Oh, the car is a '09 C2S.

Regards,
Jay

Thanks, jumper! I was gonna call the dealer either way, but I wanted to be armed with information first. :-)
