What is your temperature doing while all this is going on? If it's getting hot, it is supposed to make that sound. That means the clutch is engauged to pull air towards the engine to cool it off. Completely normal.

I have a link for the mark VIII swap. A lot of guys have done the HHR but if your off road a lot and it's real hot I wouldn't recommend that route.
