nearside wierd noise

[jamie69]

hi,
everytime i start my car i get a weird noise which sounds like its coming from the aircon vent. it goes away. just puzzling me as to what it could be.
any help would be appreciated
it sounds sort of like an old bearing winding down
whilst stationary
thanks

Mine has a sort of low pitched hoova noise when its first cranked up from cold.
its always done this a garage had a look at it for me and they say theres nowt wrong its common,
its to aid the heating warm up quicker they say

strangely the noise as sort of disapeard a bit now the better weather is here,

Well, guess this is in all the 406's because mine have the same thing .. but i never bother to go to the garage because the noise is not that loud at all and it will end in about 5 seconds or so, the sound it looks like a " fart " but a strange fart, i guess you got the idea of what the sound looks like .. but now the weather is more wormer and it doesn't do that now ..

5 to 10 secounds and it goes,
it must be some Pre heating thing
