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???

???

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
