Question: Engine making certain noise when in Park

There are times when the car is in Park that the engine makes what we call in our terminology as "revolution" sounds.

To describe this better, it is the same type of sound you would hear if you kept alternating between putting your foot on the gas pedal and releasing it while in Park mode. So it keeps making these "Vroom... Vroom... Vroom..." sounds except we're not pumping the gas pedal. This seems to happen when the engine has started to get hot.

These sounds stop whenever you shift the car back to Drive.

Any thoughts you could provide on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
