Power seat - whenever motor is started or shut down, the power seat makes an annoying, obnoxious noise as it moves.

There may be a problem with the seat-track mechanism. Suggest to hire a shop to figure it out and do a fix. With some luck this may not be an overcomplicated diagnosis & repair.

+1 to George’s suggestion  
While I’m at it, I’ll share a recent experience that I had with a noisy seat:

A few weeks ago, I noticed that my driver’s seat made a creaking noise when I did hard acceleration, and if I cornered in a “spirited” manner. I decided that when the vehicle goes in for its next scheduled service, I would mention this at the dealer’s service department, in the hope that they could remedy the situation.

Then, a couple of days ago, while I was cleaning the leather upholstery, I noticed that the head restraint was making slight contact with the headliner of the car, and I was able to verify that the creaking noise was the result of that contact. At that point, I recalled that I had raised the seat’s position around the same time that the noise problem began. Simply lowering the head restraint a bit eliminated the noise.

So… while the OP’s seat noise problem might require the attention of a mechanic, I suggest that he _first_ check the seat tracks to see if there is any sort of debris in there that is causing the noise. It’s just possible that he will find as easy a solution to the seat noise problem as I did.
