Default Whoosh...Whoosh....whoosh sound in '04 hemi QC

I just bought a '04 QC Hemi and have about 1100 miles on it. When I am idiling I hear a whoosh whoosh whoosh sound. But you can only hear it with the radio turned down and in a parking lot or if something is around you so the noise can bounce off. Or if you get out you can hear it. It sounds mabey like a belt?? Any ideas??? anyone else have this "problem"(don't know if it is normal or if it is a problem).

It just seems like it should Idle quiter? I have never owned a a truck before. Usually had a 4cyl eclipse, so this is a big change. Someone please give me direction.

thanks!

sounds like your fan clutch might be stuck a little at idle. See if it happens when you take off, then goes away.

It sems to go away when I start to drive away. but you can't hear it with the windows up. Only when your ouside the truck standing behind the drivers/passenger doors or listening under the car.....not so much if you pop the hood.

My 5.9 mag lost its Fan clutch at 23 k miles, made that sound until it finally quit all together.

so it may be the Fan clutch but if it is under warranty take it back to the dealer and make them look at it..

They have been real helpful with me and my warranty on my '02 ...
