So my 2016 Civic EX has a little over 100 miles. I get to work this morning and as I am sitting there idling before turning off the car, I hear a light helicopter sound, you know the quick whup-whup-whup-whup like rotor blades chopping the air. I turned off the car because I was sure it was just a helicopter off in the distance, but the sound stopped when the car did, and resumed when I started the car again. It appears to be coming from beyond the dash? Has anyone experienced this?

I haven't but maybe a sticker came loose near the fan or something? If you haven't already I would do a quick visual inspection just to make sure there isn't anything near there, fan blades breaking can cause a myriad of issues!

I went back out on lunch and didn't hear the sound. If it happens again I'll pop the hood, thanks!
