Default noticing fan noise at idle
since yesterday i've been noticing some kind fan noise inside the cabin when the car is at idle. nothing is coming out of the vent, it sounds like the fan motor is running or something. it can only be heard inside the cabin with windows up. coincidentally, i just had my oil changed last week at the dealer, don't know if that has anything to do with this, i'm going to bring it in this week. anyone else had similar experiences?

Do you have ventilated seats? If so, check to make sure you didn't leave the seat ventilators on.

I agree...I thought the noise was the radio, but when in fact it was the seat's vent fan.

it makes total sense. the dealer tech must've turned it on while doing the test drive.
