Default central locking system

i think my central locking system is going bad because it makes this wierd meowing noise when i lock and unlock the car. i think it may be covered under my warranty but idk. it says on the coverage paper taht the power door lock actuator is covered. does anybody know if the central locking system is the same as the power door lock actuator? thanks

mine also makes a similiar noise, when unlocking the trunk but everything works fine. pretty sure thats just the sound the actuator makes.

locks run on a vacuum system. where is the noise you found coming from? do your locks still work?

power door lock actuator is only part of the whole system, there is an actuator for each door, trunk and gas filler door. other parts of the system are system pump, and distribution box.
