I have oxy, but decided on a couple vodka tonics instead.

that's how it was when i severed the tendon in one of my index fingers back in 2013. to clean it (all the way down to the bone!) and "re-set" it, they need to do a numb block first. Such a weird feeling. The weirder part is I can still remember how it felt when the surgeon was sanitizing the flesh/bone because the vibrations reached my arm... still makes me shiver just thinking about it.

ATM I’m at the dealership for 10k maintenance & heater noise issue. Sadly they cannot replicate the noise issue. Hope nothing major & me over thinking

Sounds like old frig condenser. Coming the engine bay. After they checked it, they claim it’s “normal” sound. Thankfully got 3 years new car warranty… got 2 more years to keep checking

Old refrigerator noise? Hmmmmmmm............????

Welp, the heater (core) can only make a gurgling sound (if there is air trapped in it). The water pump, that's pushing the water through the heater, can make all kinds of squeaky or grinding sounds. The fan that's blowing air over the heater core can make squeaky or chattering sounds. The ducts or vents can make flippy sounds.

I suggest you make a DIU stethoscope type thing and try to further isolate where the sound is coming from. Or find another car on the dealers lot like yours to see if it IS "normal".

Bubba says to pound on things till the noise changes tone or goes away, then you know where it is.

You were awake? They usually give me a block for the surgery, but also give me a bit of propofol so I sleep through it all. Way better combo than a general.

Well if it’s a battery, I got 100k miles or 8yrs warranty. As long as it doesn’t burn down my house, I’m good

You look out the window today and it looks gorgeous. Not a cloud in the sky, and tons of sunshine. Then you walk outside and it's 26°.
