Thread: The most annoying noise ever!

Like said previously it may be either of these issues:

Dry bearing or debri in heater fan (really easy to pull it out, something like 4 screws and a electrical plug).
for LHD but same same. the fix: Disco 2 chirpy blower motor fix
considering the sound depends whether you slam the glovebox, which is on the same side as the blower fan, this is your most likely culprit..

or it could be the small fan under your steering wheel that blows cabin air over the interior cabin temperature sensor.

the fix: Disco 2: getting rid of whirring noise alongside steering column

How do you explain that the noise described by the OP is still there with ignition off then?... cos the issues pointed by you are very common no doubt of that but none of them occurs with ignition off though

Doesn't the ABS module make a grasshopper like sound even when the car is off?

Some of them(not all) are making a clicking noise as the inlet and/or the outlet valves within the modulator are working on some voltge leak from the SLS side of the SLABS but that's not the case when the engine is running and it's not loud at all nor like a grasshopper, also it's not from the glovebox area.... IMO a real grasshopper is trapped there no matter how funny it seems, that's one of those "unlikely but possible" cases

Oh whoops.. maybe i shouldnt post late at night haha.

The OP doesn't say ignition off, he says" turn off the motor"
If on accessory then the heater fan will still be on.

Can the Op clarify this please.

This happens sometimes with the climate control fan on mine in the passenger side footwell. Turning the climate control off and on again has fixed it every time so far. Probably fan on it's way out. Will have a closer look (if accessible) when I have the trim off to access SLABS computer for speed ratio corrector install.

Engine aND IGNITION OFF, KEY OUT. i CAN EVEN GET OUT OF THE CAR CLOSE THE DOOR AND GET BACK IN AND THE NOISE STAYS ON FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES
