I need some expert advice.

I have a 2007 AT - TLS (stock). Last night after driving around for 45 minutes for about 30+ miles, I shifted my car to park to open the garage door and all of a sudden the car started to make this weird noise. (like a broken vacuum clean trying to suck air) but the thing is the AC was off.

after I opened the garage door and head back to the car to investigate the sound it goes away before I can pinpoint where it is coming from. sounded like it was coming from the drivers/passenger but not the backseat area and not the front of the car.

Any suggestions from the experts here?

i'm starting to think it might be the radiator fan or motor. Any suggestions from experts?

Based on what you are describing, it very well could be the fan. Did you have your A/C running? If so, the fan may run that much more.

AC off, windows down.

The radiator has 2 fans. When the engine is cool, reach in there and see if the bearings have play in them. You can physically turn and move each fan back and forth. See if they feel like each other, or if one is loose.
