    2006 Prius, 141k miles.

    Started car to drive home from work and it had a chugging noise. (
    )

    Drives fine
    When I'm outside the car with the hood up there's no noise coming from the engine bay
    No error lights or codes
    Sounds like its coming from something in the console, not in the engine bay?

    does it happen after the engine warms up and is off?

    it does. Also no noise from the engine compartment at any point.

    I posted this elsewhere and someone suggested it may be related to climate control motor getting stuck - and after cycling through the fan speed options and temp options and air circulation options it has resolved!
