Noise around steering wheel after HW3 refit

I recently got the HW3 refit last month and have been hearing sounds like a harddrive writing around the steering wheel area when I put the car in drive after its been parked for a while. I never had that noise before the refit. Just wondering if this sound is normal with HW3 or if I have a failing unit?

I’ve heard this as well. Similar sound, but mine is coming from the vents.
If I recall, it was doing that before my H3 upgrade though.
I chalked it up to the vents and other HVAC systems doing their thing. It doesn’t happen all the time.
Definitely similar sound as you describe though.
