Default Whirring noise near Audio head unit

Hello everyone. New to the forum, 1st post. Picked up a new gray pearl RC F Monday. Been having fun learning about the car and customizing functions and features. Two days ago, I noticed a low level high pitched whirring noise near the ML Audio head unit. It sounds like the CD player whirring or maybe a fan behind it. When I turn the car off, it continues for 10-15 sec and slows down and stops. Is this a normal sound? I didn't notice it during the test drive or first two days of ownership.

Thanks in advance for any insights.

Default Whirring solution

Dear Forum members,

Had the car at the dealer today and they agreed the whirring sound was not normal. Their opinion was that the cooling fan for the ML head unit was faulty. They ended up pulling the head unit from another RC F on the showroom floor and swapping them until they get a replacement for the new one. I hope this helps others who may run into this issue. Quiet as a peep now.
