does it on my car too. I think (and so does my dad) it's the flap for the a/c system that lets inside air in or not.

edit: that should be "lets the outside air in". if it let the inside air in, everything would turn inside out and the world would explode

It does it on my car too. I was wondering what it was and where it was coming from. I thought I was basically the only one with that problem. Guess not !!!!!

yo guys. turn on the recirulation button for your a/c control. i did it yesterday and the sound went away. i think you were right corn. it must be some valve or flap for the outside air that is making that noise.

inside out air coming out from the inside.... that's funny. Imploding nis, not so funny. Dewd, I am happy to now have a fix for one of my gremlins... must chase more.
