Not a huge concern here, but more curiosity...
When I start the car cold (first start of day, or after sitting a while) I am noticing a sound from under the passenger footwell area that I never noticed previously.
Tough to describe, but here goes...its like a fan motor is running in the background on low speed very faintly,
(but it is still there if I turn off my HVAC system completely)..the fan has a different sound when running, you can disticntly tell the difference, it just sounds like it.
If anyone had a Chev pickup from like 25 yrs ago, and you could never shut the HVAC fan off totally, was always running in the background on very low speed, its like than kind of sound.(the motor sound, not the air moving)
or like when you have your stereo on, and there is a bit of alternator noise faintly in the background.
(I know it isn't alternator noise, I am just comparing it to that...)
And if the stereo is off, it is still there. Does not get louder or change pitch with higher RPM's.
It seems to go away as car warms up, and it is there when idling/warming up....
Only thing I have done in this area is removed factory subwoofer box, in lieu of the Angus Sub box...and relocate the module that was there to up under the glove box...(power steering module I think)
Could it be ambient noise from my power steering module?
I thought that was straight electrical?...is there something else in that area that could cause this sound?
Everything is running perfect so no concerns per say, and once you are driving , even with stereo off, you don't hear it (it either goes away as car warms up, or drowned out by engine...)
Thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
Curtis
