Oh, that sound, you're right.
First, I thought it was the common shut-off backfire.
Now that you mention it, I seldom use the red bar-mounted kill switch now.
Use the key switch mostly now and the backlash thing has gone away. Considering the recent discussion/review of the savage ignition box failure, something comes to mind.

Perhaps w/ the ignition key still on,
using the red kill switch to stop the running motor
may help induce or be more prone to the dreaded shut-off-backfire/fart-backlash syndrome by way of the "wasted spark" CDI?? ???

Stop the backlash thread and I can imagine it so clearly I may have even heard it myself (though I listened for it last night and it wasn't there). However, from reading that thread, it seems the actual backlash issue would cause a very ugly sound and that the whirring you hear may be fairly common and likely benign.
