strange noise

So pice just picked up my new/used 13 Edge Limited Awd with 27000km. We also own a 11 Fusion Sport awd.i joined this forum in hopes of sharing or finding info on the Edge. Everything is good exept for this noise. While driving usually 80km/hr climate control was on fan at lower speed.

If I was holding the speed steady it made a sound like muffled boiling marbles or crumbling a piece of paper, Strange I know. If I let of the gas it stops if I step on the gas it goes away. Passenger side you can hear it but it's more noticeable on the driver side. Thought I would ask other owners before I took it in. For an extra $500 I bought 1 extra year of bumper to bumper. I thought that was a good deal (hope I never need it).

Any ideas or suggestions how to trouble shoot would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Craig from Ontario.

Welcome to the community and congrats on the '13 Limited! Does the noise vary with the fan speed also? Assume you are using AC, not heat?

 

First thing I'd check (if indeed related to the climate control) is the cabin air filter. More than likely it has never been changed, and may be clogged or littered with debris. Sometimes the foam that lines the vents can also come loose and cause various noises.

Hey there, Craig! Welcome to the group! I have a '13 SEL and fortunately so far it has been perfect. Hope your noise issue gets resolved to your satisfaction. It does sound like the cabin air filter and/or maybe some crinkly dead leaves stuck in the air intake.

 

Coincidentally I too have a Fusion; mine is a first generation 2007. Some nuisance stuff with Fusion of late, but all-in-all both vehicles trouble-free.

 

P.S. This is a great forum for all kinds of info, tips and tricks. Stick around!
