    It could be the climate control temperature sensor, which has a small fan so it can sample the air in the cabin. It keeps running for a few minutes after you turn off the ignition. Maybe it's worked loose or gone wrong?

    Interesting remark regarding the climate control temperature sensor: it certainly sounds like a fan whirring away......car is just out of the first year of warranty, I wonder if this would still be covered?

    Isnt it jsut abouve your left knee in the lower dash?...theirs a small grill to allow the air in.

    But in the cabin that could be about right..noise and rattles has a funny way of travelling form its true source!

    No, that's the airvent for the footwell blowers, if you switch to the footwell setting,this is where it blows the air at you, there's one on the passenger side, above their right knee too.
