What is the modem-like sound in the dash?

[bobward757]

Hello expedition friends,

My new 24 and a friend’s 24 both make an old school modem style sound that comes from behind the speedometer for the first few miles when you start out driving.

And electronic sound that sounds like the initial connection of a 14.4 baud modem.

My Service guys who are good have no clue so I am turning to the experts.

Thank you in advance, Bob

Can you upload a sound clip?

Don't worry, that's just SkyNet dialing in, to upload some backdoors/virii/tracking programs to your vehicle, no problem, hahahahaha

But seriously, this is the 1st time I've heard of this issue, so hopefully someone has a solution, or at least an explanation...

I FIGURED IT OUT

It is the plenum noise from the drivers cooling seat.

Weird noise. But solved.

Ours does this too. It’s annoying but you soon tune it out.

Mine doesn’t do such thing.

Maybe that's because you take such good care of it, hahaha
