So I have a 2016 Rav4 Le, Whenever I use the fan for cold air and hot air or A/C and have the setting at 1 I would constantly hear a noise different than the fan. It sounds similar to the sound that a computer makes when the hard drive is gurgling. It would only happen when I have the setting set to blow the feet and defog front windshield or defog front windshield only. I continuously hear it at fan setting 1 but if I turn the fan setting higher, it would mask the noise.
I am just wondering if this is normal because it is very annoying, I usually have the setting at 1 because turning it to 2 or higher would make the fans a bit too loud.
Also another thing is if I have the setting set to blow air out to anything else besides the front windshield, I would not hear this noise. I am very certain it is coming from the windshield vent and if this hard drive gurgling noise is common or not normal at all?
I also did take it to a few different dealers and they say nothing is wrong. I had a 2002 corolla before this Rav4 and when I have the fan setting set to 1 to defog the windshield, I would not hear the hard drive gurgling noise, everything was very quiet.
