Default Loud cooling fan

I have noticed in the last couple of weeks that the engine fan(s) that kick on when the A/C is running are crazy loud. I can hear them at idle when I'm in the cabin with the windows up, and when I get out of the car... it sounds like a Cessna. I have had this car through two SoCal summers and it was definitely not always this loud. Has anyone else had this experience???

Default RE: Loud cooling fan

???

With my CAI, TB Exhaust, and VF engine mounts, I'm not sure if I hear much of anything else. LOL People can definitely hear me though.

But, I do notice the engine sounding like a plane winding down when I turn off the motor. It has sounded the same since the day I bought the car. Just mention it to them on your next service and they'll check it out.

Cheers!

my ACwinds down like a turbo plane but its normal, if very noisy suspect worn bearings on the fan or you have lost a fan blade which will cause imbalance
