Hyundai Ioniq EV Heater Noise

[flyingA108]

I recently heard an unusual sound while using the heater in my Hyundai Ioniq EV. A buzzing sound is present, and it becomes more noticeable as the fan speed or temperature settings are increased. Is this normal?

It's just the car's heater pump humming along. It's a normal sound, so don't worry about it.

I had a similar issue with my Ioniq, and it turned out to be some debris caught near the blower fan. It’s a surprisingly common problem, especially if you park under trees. I’d start by pulling out the cabin air filter and taking a quick peek inside the housing. If you don’t spot anything obvious, it might be worth mentioning it to your dealer during your next service. Sometimes, the motor itself needs a lubrication or replacement.

Is it easy to do it yourself? I don't hear any weird noise, but in case I will start having a similar problem, it is worth knowing how to get rid of it.
