Or in other words, it's normal, nothing to be concerned about.
I don't think it's that because it started fairly recently. Most times I don't even hear it because I have the radio going.


Maybe it is the A/C compressor running for a really short time? I wasn't running the A/C this morning and I heard nothing.
