Default Noisy A/C System???

Only have my car for 1 day... But... it appears that the a/c system is noisy! Even when i adjust the settings in the a/c setup to "soft" the fan seems to blow hard and loud. When in "auto mode" even when the car has cooled off, the fan is quite loud. It almost sounds like all the vents are closed except for one and the air is being forced through that one vent. Anyone else notice this? Any way to fix???

If you have ventilated seats, what are they set to? High? If so, that setting adds to the fan noise in the car. Check your rear vents as well to make sure one isn't shut.

I noticed that the A/C is much louder at some times and quieter others. I finally figured out that the fan noise in the front gets much louder when the rear A/C is on.

When I hear the hiss, I just reach back and press the button in the middle (provided there is nobody in the back).

Thanks guys! It worked... I first raised the rear temp to about 73 and it quieted down. Then i shut rear a/c off completely and the noise issue disappeared! Thanks again!!!!
