I am curious to hear other owners toughts about how often they feel the fan is coming on in the engine compartment and how loud it is in your cars. Mine has a noticeable sound, an almost whine-like sound that is easy to hear when the CD player is off and I can hear it often when stopped at traffic lights for instance. My dealer gave me the default answer and says both the frequency and sound levels are normal and that I should only be concerned if I don't hear the fan whine. BTW, I have a 2002 GTS.

The running sound is noticable. Moves a lot of air.

Unless there is something rubbing the blades, I'd enjoy it.

Should be 2 speeds... loud and extra loud.

When we park in the garage, the wife remarks that it sounds like a jet plane winding down. At idle the fan is quieter than the lifter tick (sounds like a sewing machine some days). When moving... it's an RT - so we can't even hear the stereo.

I'm loosing my hearing anyway, so it really doesn't matter, does it?
