Why does your 2001 ford windstar traction control make a grinding sound when it kicks in?

I would use the word "grind" to describe the normal operation of the traction control.
But...
Because the traction control system is activating the brakes, it could also be symptomatic of worn brakes.

How do you activate the traction control on a Chevrolet impala 2007?
I believe it's always active and only kicks in when needed, on my Monte Carlo there is a traction control button by the shifter that you can turn it off.
97 Cadillac Seville when i turn traction control off it seems like power is cut back and very sluggish off the lineand when you leave it on it spins tires until traction control kicks in whats wrong?
When the traction control button is pushed to disable it, the vehicle automatically starts out in 2nd gear. If the traction control is left on and the vehicle detects wheel spin, horsepower is reduced until the system recognizes that wheel spin has stopped or traction has been restored.

That's when you're traction control kicks in. You'll feel the car slow down a little bit. There's a button called "VDC off" right by the hood pop, that will turn your traction control on or off. However, beware, if you turn it off, be ready to spin out.
What is VDC in a car?
VDC is Vehicle Dynamics Control VDC is composed of 2 main systems: VTD plus VDC full time 4 wheel traction and engine management. VDC is traction control that senses vehicle direction and uses brake, throttle and engine management to help maintain stability. The components of the VDC system are: all wheel drive using the VTD system. When the wheels are spinning without traction or the vehicle is not going in the direction it is being steered, the VDC system kicks in. Direction: uses brakes to slow down wheels to reduce spin and help control vehicle direction. Skidding: yaw and steering wheel sensors use brakes to slow down spinning wheels and re-direct power to the wheel(s) with the best traction to re-gain control. Engine power use engine output to slow spinning by reducing spark to cylinders to cut back power and help re-gain control.

Does cruise control make hydroplaning more dangerous or increase the chance of hydroplaning?
When it is raining, the chances of hydroplaning are higher. You see, the cruise control makes every attempt to maintain a set speed. When hydroplaning occurs, the tires lose traction, and as such the car starts to slow down, then the cruise control kicks in suddenly trying to accelerate the car back to the set speed. The cruise control does not know the road conditions or if it is raining, snowing or you are floating on a lake ... it only knows the speed set point and will always do everything it can to achieve that set speed, no matter what. Best advice when it's raining - turn the cruise control off.
