I have a strange whirring sound coming from inside the cabin sounds like coming from underneath the steering wheel in middle console area by radio.. it almost sound like a CD Spinning . I have ny heat and AC turned off so nothing is on but I keep hearing this sound..

when I shut off the car the noise stops.

anyone have this similar issue ?

or can point me in the right direction ?

Thank you.

Sample fan inside HVAC unit below MID. Take out the HVAC panel, open OT up, and blow out all of the dust. If you have never done this before it will be packed.
A drop of oil on the motor shaft is recommended.

mine started 2 days ago. i thought the cassette player was still on but no, bon jovi never started to play. It ended up being the fan. Apparently opening the doors makes it activate so i thought it had been on draining the battery the entire night but wasnt the case.
