Try simple first, make sure it isn't frozen up and the click is the fan skipping off of ice buildup....no wet spot under your car when you are parked for a few min is a dead give away, or water sprinkles blowing through vent when way over full, clear drain ports when thawed out also check to see if something went down vent.
My car's glovebox door/trim was rattleing makeing a static noise. I had a friend push up on the trim while it was making the sound, and it stopped, so I just jammed a small wad of tissue up between the trim, and that solved it for the time being. Funny thing tho, after I had my tires balanced, the noise went away never to return. You could have a faulty blower motor tho, if the tissue don't work, or you can't stop it by applying pressure to the trim, look into blower motor replacement.
it needs a new fan motor not real hard to do. remove fans from radiator and change motor or take to shop will cost around 300.00 to have fixed at shop around a 100.00 if you do.
Take the car out on a quiet parking lot(no traffic) get it up to speed and when the noise is occuring turn the car to the right and to the left...did the noise go away???
I think on one of those turns it did...if it went away on the left turn the left front wheel bearing/hub assembly is bad and needs replacement, if it went away on the right turn the right side hub/bearing needs replacement. Hope that helps!!
If WD-40 got on belt, and squeak went away for a while, it may just need a new belt. The humming noise sounds like a worn wheel bearing that should be checked and replaced if needed. If squeak goes away when you push slightly on brake pedal, it may be rotor on same side as wheel bearing making the noise due to slight shifting of rotor because of worn bearing.You can try swapping tires on front from one side to other to confirm it isn't tire problem as well. If noise shifts to other side, then it's a tire.
it has to do with the clutch on the cooling fan. I have had to have mine fixed at about 50 k and it is acting up again at 87k. This tends to go away on mine as the engine heats up.
I had the same problem in my Pathfinder a couple months ago. It's most likely your fan clutch. I had mine replaced, and the noise went away. And it seems that it is the cold weather causes this.
I had a high pitch noise, didn't sound like it came from the "underside". Turns out it was one of fans that had little chips in the blades? My Audi dealer replaced it, and it's fine now.
