Ventilated seats on = repeated creaking followed by a burble

[citizen]

Annoyingly just got the car back for two quick service visits for minor issues and now I'm experiencing something I don't think I've seen mentioned on the forums. When the ventilated seats are enabled on the driver seat, I'll hear a repetitive creaking sound followed by a burble. I didn't think there was any coolant or any other liquid running through the seats? Anyone have a fix I can try to implement myself?

Not a huge deal. Last service visit, they had my car back in 24 hours. Dropped it off Friday morning and they gave me a call Saturday morning to pick up. Costa Mesa has always been great to me, just wish I was able to merge all three service visits into one... hope nothing else pops up.

Very strange. Almost sounds like a damper creaking, but don’t think that the seats themselves have a damper. Hope CM finds a quick solution

Maybe the seat has its own fan and suffered a failure?

It sounds like it could be the fan blades hitting something.

That's usually the sound in my car after some good Tex-Mex. On a serious note, I agree with previous comments. Unfortunately you're going to have to put a ticket in.
