Default HELP - loud buzzing sound from dash

My 2001 GS300 is masking this buzzing noise from the Dash area. My climate control servos used to make a noise like a rat was in the dash, but that has since gone away. Now when I start the car there is a buzzing noise that comes from the dash. It last about 15-20 seconds then goes away. The car is driving fine, and everything is working, so I'm guessing it is nothing major. If anyone has anyone info on what this might be I would appreciate it.

Please click the link below to listen to BUZZ.

The brake hydraulic unit buzzes periodically, have you looked at that?

You come on here in the middle of the night asking for help, and then start complaining because no one will answer your question within 45 minutes..... Then you commence with the bashing of the site you just joined to seek help and "advise" from??
