    Buzzing/whirring noise in dash after braking

    Hi guys just wondering if anyone else has this noise or might know what it is? After braking and coming to a stop at a set of lights for example I can hear this strange whirring/buzzing noise coming from inside the dash area in the center or left side. It does it every time I come to a stop and it only goes for a couple of seconds. It's not the little fan that draws in air for the climate control because that one rattles all the time hehe

    Cheers
    Mick.

    I had this start immediately after the dealer put thicker plates on the top of the shuttle valves on the ABS block. Seems to come from the right area too. So used to it that I hardly ever hear it, after nearly 300k.

    I've heard similar on occasion; though predominantly after a U turn from stationary

    The auto ECU under the passenger seat occasionally buzzes on mine, normally only notice it when stopped and music off/down.
    Safe to say, I don't hear it often

    I can only hear it when I pull up to a set of lights when the engine is quieter. It starts when I have almost come to a stop and disappears a few seconds after I have stopped. It happens every time and no this is with the AC and fan off. It almost sounds like a little servo motor buzzing..

    I suspect it is the Wabco ABS unit . Have you checked the brake fluid? It could be the auto box but they generally dont make a sound, even when they dying!

    Shouldn't be the ABS modulator as I only rebuilt it 6 months ago by replacing the shuttle valve seals, micro switches and the circuit board bypass mod. Plus I flushed all my brake lines with new fluid. The ABS unit has never worked better actually..

    It sounds like it's in the dash rather than in the engine bay.
