It is the sound of the two tape spools turning, and your ear is dominated by the sound from the Take-Up reel that is being emptied by the Rewind operation. That is because it actually is not the motor sound you hear. In either case, you won't hear nothing - you will hear a low-level motor running sound, and it will slowly increase in frequency. On a Cassette tape deck the "normal" operation would be to start from the Stop position, then press Rewind and either shut it off yourself by pushing Stop when you choose, or wait for it to stop itself at the end of the tape. And that includes both monophonic and 2- or 4-track stereo. OK, I'm old enough to have worked with cassette tape and its predecessor, reel-to-reel tape, including professional broadcast equipment.
