It is the compressor spilling off the back pressure in the piston chamber, so when it starts up again it is not trying to compress already compressed air trapped in the piston chamber. I am sure some compresses are louder than others, but the sound is normal. If this didn't happen the piston would not be able to make the next compression stroke and brake the piston rod and do other damage as well.
