I suspect it may be some kind of a vacuum thing, but it would be great to have a definitive answer and a possibly a little direction about a possible remedy.
It sounds like the main air flap is closing. But, I don't think it should make a noise like that. I wonder if one of the pods going bad could cause that? Hmmm. Wouldn't hurt to pull the passenger airbag and check the 7 lines, see if they hold vacuum when tested with a MityVac. Does it do the same thing if you are in "EC" mode or not?
