Most but not all automatics typically make a noise when switching from reverse to drive, or the other way around because of slack in the drivetrain when gears, bearings, cv joints, etc all have an opposite force applied.

My Ford does it, my Volvo did, the older TL's would make a pretty good noise too sometimes, it's normal.

You have a good car, I would not worry about it.
