Noise at startup

When I first start my car up, for couple of seconds this noise comes, it seems like it might be some kind of fan or something and then it stops. I have noticed this every time I start it so I don't know if this is normal or not....

Question Like what??

"thump" or "flap" sounds while your car reaches 10 MPH? Does it usually happen only when your car sits for a long time or overnight?



If so, it's normal... there are many threads discussing this topic already... check Garage, please.

Could be the AC compressor kicking on and off for a few seconds. I know if I am in full "auto" mode mine does this depending on temp..

It doesn't matter if the car is seating there for 10 minutes or all night it happens all the time. The noise comes for like couple of seconds and then goes away. It will go away without me moving at all. I did have my HVAC in the auto mode, but it was off. I'll have to check if it still happens if its not in the auto mode.
