Low pulsing whining noise

Asked by Sally26623 Oct 22, 2017 at 03:14 AM about the 2015 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T Wolfsburg Edition FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2015 vw passat Wolfsburg is
doing a low pulsing whining noise
that seems to come from dash area.
It doesn't make the noise all the time.  
I have 50,000 miles on it. Was
wondering what could this noise be.

what situations is the car in when you hear this noise ? does it sound like a buzzing or a humming ? does it only do it when your moving or when our stoped ? does it go away when you turn the climate control off? any extra information would be good. its hard to know what a noise is when you don't know how or when it occures.

We just bought a 2015 Passat SE. It makes a similar noise. Slow when idling, it speeds up when we start driving. Sort of sounds like a water fountain pump when the water is low. It's a low pitch sound.
