Wind Noise?

Post by Shadow Realm »

Has anyone experienced a whining noise through the vents. If I have the window cracked and have the A/C fan off I get a whining noise coming through the vents in the front. I thought it was coming from the front window but I narrowed it down to the vents. When I turn on the fan it goes away. WEIRD!

Yeah, a little. It's part of the flow-through ventilation system so there is probably always air moving through them even when the HVAC is off. Try closing the vents to narrow it down and/or quiets the problem.

Thanks a bunch Sub-Vibe-R. I'll try that tonight when I go home. I know that when you close the vents it makes more noise but I haven't tried the recirc button yet.Thanks!!Shadow Realm
