Hello there, for some reason I'm hearing on my vehicle some kind of air coming from my car near the tires. It's not tires because when I shut down the car, I can't hear anything.
I don't know is this normal or not, but I will upload a video hoping that you can hear what I'm talking about. Don't listen to the engine, listen to some kind of air, i don't know how to explain this. 2 guys told me that this is normal but I don't know im a bit afraid and I hope they are right.

Video on YouTube of the possible problem: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vWbB05_mdKk

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

I listened to the video and heard what you described. It sounds like the fuel pump working. Do me a favor. The next time you start the vehicle, first turn the key from off to on. The first couple of seconds is when the fuel pump will run to pressurize the system if the engine is running or not. See if you notice the noise.

Let me know.

Joe

Thank you for your fast answer, may you please describe this sentence “first turn the key from off to on” does that mean I start the car immediately by skipping ignition mode?
If the noise persist do I have to worry or everything is okay?

Hi,

With the engine off, turn the key from off to the run position. Don't start it. See if you hear the sound. If you do, it will only stay on for a couple of seconds before turning off until the engine is eventually started.

Let me know.
