Haha, I intend to. I love how the dealer says "thats normal". Well if it wasn't there when I bought the car, it isn't normal IMO. I will accept moans and groans with age but not huge noises that can be narrowed down to something very specific.

When i start the engine and the climate control turns on right away on the lowest fan level, there is a humming noise coming from the vents or the whol unit itself, im not to sure what it could be. As soon as i turn the climate control completly off, the sound goes away. Weird

i dropped my 06 4.4i off at the dealer for almost the same thing. my problem is a fluttering sounds when the fan/ac unit is on when you are at idle and when you press the gas peddle. sitting at the starbucks drive thru with the window down it's quite obvious. sorry, but i don't think that's normal, and you shouldn't hear the fan/ac unit in the car in my opinion. the "normal" operation was already said, but i also have had a strange sounds when accelerating hard, sounds like the mufflers are buffered. definitely doesn't sound like a normal v8. then i turn the fan/ac unit all the way off and all the sounds go away. i'll post tomorrow after the dealer tells me very thing is "normal"
