Unusual Noise from '08 Civic

Is it normal that the 2008 Civic makes a loud noise when it is started from time to time. Its quiet at one point, then loud soon after like a giant fan. Is this normal?

Re: Unusual Noise from '08 Civic

is the AC on? maybe it is just the fan coming on. i know some cars are a bit loud before they warm up but then later the rpm drops back down. try to find where its coming from

Re: Unusual Noise from '08 Civic

Whenever the car is parked is makes this noise on and off. AC is off too. Also makes a noise when reversing as well. Any ideas?

With an 08 I imagine you are still under warranty, take it back to the dealer and say "fix my f'in car..... or I'll stab ya in the face with a soldering iron"! Use a Walken voice if you can.
