Clutch Sounds Like a Tractor?

Kind of a weird thing I know but after having another car friend ride along with me he was like "Yea that does sound like a tractor!".

Anyways here is what is going on and maybe you guys can help me figure out if this is normal or what not.

This sound only happens when starting out in first gear from a dead stop. Right before the clutch is fully engaged it sounds like there is a tractor running for a couple of seconds which lasts for about a second into the clutch being fully engaged.

It is really strange and I have just ignored it for the longest time but I am really starting to worry that the original owner (which seems like was an irresponsible female) was abusive to the clutch. If you guys have any ideas let me know thanks! Also the car has 19K miles in case you were wondering..
