Angry Ventilated Seats Noises

I've noticed that the ventilated seat on the driver side makes a couple of distinct, strange noises, at least when both the heated option and the ventilated option are both on full blast (supposedly it heats better than way).

I've posted a video here:

There are two annoying noises:
1) The loud buzzing throughout the video that appears after about 10 minutes of use. (Keep in mind this is right next to my ear!)
2) The more subtle whirring noise in the background that becomes more prevalent and intense later in the video.

Have any of you experienced these sounds?

Thank you!
William

Unless my ears are bad it sounds like the fans. That is normal.

Not normal. Do your kids throw trash under the seat?
