If its something wrong I don't really care since its warrantied until 100,000 miles for me. I can't remember if it was the same exact noise but I definitely remember it being a humming noise.
This actually makes sense, I tracked the source of the sound and believe it came behind the engine, between the engine and the firewall. However I can't visually see any fan there, probably covered by some plastic. Hope that's all it is.
