Does the 5 mph "ABS init. crunch sound" disappear as the car gets older? I never hear it anymore :-\

Default I should also mention, however, that the ABS appears to be working...

...it actually makes that god-awful sound whenever the system is activated for real, in a braking situation.

Scared the hell out of me!! But it's normal, according to the manual.

Well, I feel better now. Seems like this is probably normal, given the responses thus far :-)
