When I turn my key on, and even start the car, it is making what can only best be described as a distant helicopter. It seems to be coming from the right front side and sounds like a whupwhupwhupwhupwhup noise.
Would anyone have any idea what that is or would be causing this issue?
Does it sound like it could be the headlight motor, or is it in the interior? Maybe something in the HVAC system? I've never torn into that but that's what it makes me think of.
Under the passenger side dash is a little blue box. It makes those beeping noises that are supposed to tell you to put a seatbelt on. Those have issues a lot. It might be making funny noises. It can easily be unplugged (it just pulls free).
Does your car have a subwoofer? If so, it's also under the passenger dash near the blue beeping thing. I suppose there could be an odd wiring issue that might cause it to make bumping noises.
My guess would be a headlight motor. If it has the gen 1's they're notorious for things like that. Try unplugging the single wire to the motor, and see if the noise goes away. They're not that hard to rebuild, just time consuming...

It definitely is not the headlight motors as I have them currently unplugged. (Rebuilt them and they keep making a ticking noise, but only when plugged in). It does sound like more of a subwoofer type sound. I will check into that. Thanks and ill get back to you guys.
It does have an option on the stock radio that says LOUD and up above the rear view mirror is the switch to change the bass when the option is selected. It's an 86 SE if that helps any. I have used the option on the radio before and it does work.
Issue is fixed. Unplugged the red/black wires going into sub and no longer have a helicopter like noise on the interior. If needed, you can delete this! Thanks for the help everyone!
Disconnecting the sub isn't fixing the problem. Disconnect the amp to it will and stop eating power.
Unplug the big radio connector and find/unplug second connector same size and shape near the radio. Plug second connector into the radio and should work only on main speakers.
The "Y" part you disconnected goes to the sub amp under carpet on passenger side of tunnel and has all signal and power to it.
