@Brojave22 I think I am facing similar issue, please see this video. This has been happening since yesterday morning as soon as I unlock the car door! It lasts about 5 seconds and only happens when the car is unlocked for the first time in the morning!

That actually sounds like my daughter’s cat before throwing up a hair ball! Weird.

I have never heard anything like this under the hood.
only happens at temperatures below 32 degrees F and when the engine has been sitting for a few hours!!

Think we should get all the JT's that make strange noises together in one location. And have a mass exorcism. Definitely some wierd shit going on.

Sounds like a dying owl stuck under your hood.

Dang, that had my cats looking around for an injured animal!
Almost like something was trying to initialize and find "home".......... but then, naw, that lasted too long.
How do the vacuum pumps work in these?
Do they have a rodent in there using a bellows?

Out of curiosity, have you replaced your headlight bulbs with aftermarket LEDs?
This sounds very similar to when the built in fan on many of those bulbs starts to go bad or gets “sticky” due to cold weather. Just a guess.

Good call. Does sound like a cheap brushless DC fan that is COLD and struggling to go. Used to hear that on laptop computers in real cold weather.
