This is most likely the problem.

OP does it sound like a hamster wheel?

I have the same issue. I have owned four diffrernt German cars 2 new 2 pre owned since 2001 and all four of them have had the same issue. They must get them from the same store. Never an issue with other cars.

If your fan is on 0 as stated is off.
My fan is running . The fan bushing on mine require either a lube or oil.
I would need a low temp product.?

There is a secondary fan blower albeit very small one , I could be wrong might want to check on that.
That would explain the higher pitch, maybe a command sound ?
