2022 Tesla Model 3, Odd Grinding Sound (When the fan is on)

Good day everyone,

I hope you're all doing well.

I'm posting here because I'm hearing a strange sound on my 2022 Model 3 LR. I hear it when the fan is on, particularly when it's set to 72°. It was a chilly day here in SoCal, so maybe it's heat-related? I just took delivery of this M3 last week. And so far I love it. The fan works, as does the heater. I'm posting because I don't know if the sound is normal.

If it is normal, cool. I honestly don't mind it. I'll always have music playing, but I just heard it as I was sitting in the car this morning while I was meditating in the front seat. And clearly I wasn't meditating properly because the sound threw me off. I just wanted to make sure my M3 is alright.

I've uploaded a sample of the sound on YouTube.

Any constructive input would be greatly appreciated. I already have an appointment set for next month to fix some weather stripping issue on my rear window; I just added this symptom, too.

Thanks in advance
 
I hear that when I turn the system off...it sounds like a pressurization/depressurization of some kind. Not sure. Do you ever hear a loud rising growling sound accompanied severe vibration after not having used the system for a long time (like a couple of days)?
