Default Wierd noise when wet?

I noticed it recetly, it seems any time that it like starts raining, or i drive on a wet road that might actually spray water up to teh undercarriage, and i stop, the car makes a nasty noise when i pull away, only once for like 2 or 3 seconds or so, then doest do it again at all. It sounds like my car dropped to the floor and is scraping on the road, kinda the same sound i heard when my friend was sliding across a median in his eclipse. Can anyone tell me waht it is? its only when the undercarriage gets wet i think, and it only does it one time, when i pull away from a stop, then not again until i drive in the rain again....

it sounds like metal grinding on the pavement though, wouldnt a belt make a squeeking noise? My belts ARE pissing off tho, some make liem squeeks but tis not a constant squall like squeek squeek squeek like 2 or 3 times a second, and then when i got to WOT i dont hear it, not sure if it goes awy or if my intake is just too loud.

But this noise is wayy different....
