Default Noise coming from the Center Dash

Hello all. I have not read anything about this problem yet so I'd like to describe this noise. Yesterday I drove to work and when I got into the car to drive home (after 8 hours), I hear this noise coming from the center dash near the A/C controls. It sounds like a stuck and struggling CD in a multi-disc CD changer trying to play. There is no CD inside the player and actually I have never inserted a CD before. The noise lasts about 1 minute and then does not come back. This noise occurred yesterday and today as I start the car to drive home. Can anyone explain this? I just know that this isn't normal and something is wrong.

Does it sounds like this?


The noise appears @ 0:12, 0:16, 0:24, 0:32 (loudest)

Listen closely with head phone and turn up the volume.

The noise I experienced was different. It was a continuous 30-60 secs in length. It sounds very much like a CD changer trying to play a stuck CD.

Could it be a bad AC servo?

How would we really know? I have not heard the noise again but it has been only one day though. The A/C appears to be working normally.

Try changing the AC flow from head to feet/defroster, etc and see if the noise comes back. Since everything seems to be working normally, you can probably wait until your next service at the dealership and mention it to them then instead of making an extra trip there. No one like to go to the dealership more than they need to lol.
