My apologizes if this has been addressed before, but I didn't see it when I searched. I notice that there is a very pronounced "whooshing" sound from the driver side of the back of the cabin when the air is on. I'm sure it's some sort of fan used to circulate air, but it's seriously noisy. If I turn off the climate control completely, it shuts off. But if I turn it on, even if the fan is turned down all the way, it's just as noisy as ever (plus I can hear it very well since the front vents are quiet at that point).
Is this normal? It just seems like it's unnecessarily loud and annoying so I'm wondering if there is some sort of obstruction that is causing it to be louder than it should.
Also, is that an intake vent that is on that side closer to the top of the storage well behind the 3rd row? I'm guessing yes. The noise, however, seems to be coming from farther up the side panel.
