makes a whirring sound.. Like something is winding down..... anyone have any idea what this annoying sound might be? sounds like im shutting down an airplane motor... vehicle doesnt seem to be effected in any way but this winding down noise is bothersome to me....... any ideas chaps?
thanks fellas

 

I have the same noise. Personally I think it is the air compressor winding down. But others tell me that's the sound the radiator fan makes. Completely normal.

 

It is normal.

 

As was said, it is the radiator fans slowing down. Louder if the AC was on since both would have been running for sure. Without the AC running the fans will only run when the radiator temp is up at the threshold temp. You probably notice it more in the summer.

 

its the car whining at you for shutting it off. get back in an drive fast.

 

What "oldmots" said.

 

Radiator fan with bad bushings, mine used to do that noise til I swapped the fan

 

Bad bushings? Or bad bearings? Does that mean it could fail or is just an annoyance?

 

So a new radiator fan will cure this? How much? Do you have a part #? thanks bro

 

I guess it is difficult to diagnose a noise over the internet, whether yours is abnormal or not, but mine has been like that since new and dealer has never mentioned anything. After all of this time, it has not become any louder either. As others have mentioned, it seems pretty common and standard. Perhaps in your case though, there is a problem. Without being able to hear it.....

 

How loud is yours Jsedita? Could you take a video/audio recording perhaps?

 

I am sure you're hearing and describing the sound of the E-Brake motor locking the parking brake down after engine shut off.

 

That is not noticeable unless you live in an environment with 20 or less db Lol, and I meant the bearings amc my bad.
