Anyone else get this? Like a high pitched fan or similar. When I drop my revs, or the fan speed of the HVAC, it goes away, then comes right back when increasing either/both.

Any thoughts?

If it's dependant on engine speed as well it's most likely alternator (or wired interference if you have something akin to an aux cable plugged in)

that’s what im thinking too, that it’s from the engine bay. its more of a whistle actually, and doesn’t kick in until the car is warmed up and has been rung out a bit…and it’s not too loud, and can be covered up by playing the radio. mildly annoying, but I’ll have to mention it at the next service anyways. I don’t hear it with the car running and the hood up, only through the hvac…
