It tried to get a video of this sound but it’s not picking up well. When I turn my car on, there’s this airy, whirring, fizzle sound constantly l. It almost sounds like when you have a pot boiling and water is evaporating and rushing out of the side of the lid. But like a constant airy sound that is there at all speeds. Not coming from the window, it’s coming directly on the dashboard drivers side. I’m not sure if this is just how this vehicle sounds or not? Dealership said it’s normal but it’s just so annoying I can’t imagine it is 😭 Bronco sport big bend 2021

Sounds like a leaf blowing around in vent. Have u also cleaned the cabin air filter
I haven’t yet but it’s a constant sound whether the ac is turned on or not, so I’m not sure!

It is constant the moment I turn the car on and it’s on whether the air/fan is on or not. It sounds like the window is cracked a tad and air is getting in but it’s much quieter than that would be and also not coming form the window. It’s coming toward the front of the vehicle on my driver side

Your thread title says pax side, then below you state driver side. Anyhow, there are fans that run to cool the headlight electronics, one of the sounds it makes even when off if you open a door or something. Probably that or something like it.

Does the sound appear when the engine is running or just when the start button is pushed?

Your original post is quite confusing.
