    When the AC fan is on the lowest setting we hear a slight whistling/squeaking like sound. We both bought 2016 Tacomas. Does it on his, but not mine. Anyone else experience this?

    This was supposed to have been fixed in 2013!

    Remove the cabin filter and check the fan cage for leaves or debris.

    Yeah my makes noise when I turn it on. I believe its the fan spinning. Another new member first post complaining, I
    think this forum is attracting so many trolls.

    Complaining? Are forums not supposed to help someone trouble shoot? Sounds like you're the troll. Others have been extremely helpful.

    Didn't think it was negative nor anywhere did I complain. Was a simple question. No intent on offending anyone.

    The sound means it's working.

    Guess I better take my quiet AC fan in to be checked since it isn't making a squeaking sound...must mean my quiet fan is broken and my boyfriend's is perfectly fine. Ha

    Are your passenger side vents opened?
    I have to have at least 3 open or mine makes a noise.

    Good point. Mine is nice and quiet, but all vents open. He always has the passenger side shut on his. Thank you for some actual feedback!
