    This started up last week. It makes the noise completely randomly. Sounds like an actuator or a servo or something. I'll try and get under there later today and pinpoint exactly where the noise is coming from.

    move the temperature selector to either full hot or full cold and see if it goes away, it should. It sounds like a servo is trying to keep the interior tempurature at what you selected.

    I think I pressed every button on the HVAC controls but never tried the temp knob, haha. I'll give that a shot, thanks.
