BMW F10 523i Weird Sound Help

conkbc · 09-01-2023, 03:52 AM

Hi All,

My BMW 523i F10 2011 has this weird sound coming from the dashboard as heard below, does anyone knows what is this sound or what is causing this sound?

It isn't affecting how the vehicle in terms of driving but would like to check if I don't do anything about it, will it affect the vehicle in the long run?

Thank you!

Haven't heard nothing alike.. at least not from a car 😂

Wild guess > ac unit or radio.
turn both off and look for any changes I'd say.

Guess: HVAC flap getting stuck and trying to move? Does it happen all the time or just when AC is turned on, or you direct air to feet or defrost or something like that?
