Unhappy Really weak ventilated seats?

When I turn my ventilated seats on high, I barely feel anything. What gives? I hear it whirring but hardly notice anything on bother driver and passenger side.

Thanks!

Agreed, it definitely is subtle. I will say that when it's really hot and you've got sweaty back it does seems to do the job though.

I hover a foot off the seat with mine on.

Seriously .... the effect could best be described as subtle.
