    For the past few weeks, I have been hearing a cooing or hooting sound of a mourning dove or an owl - swooping up, then down, then up, etc. - when my headlights are on. At first I heard it only when I had turned the car off and the lights were still on. If I manually turned off the switch for the headlights, the sound stopped.

    Now I also hear it when the car is running and the lights are on. If the lights are turned off, I do not hear it.

    And no, there are no trapped birds in there. :)

    LED lights fitted with fans on the back of them? You'll have to get out and look at your headlight housing at the back leave them on you hear a whirring whining whooshing noise when the lights are on right there at the housing have your other half turn them off while your head's there at all stopped? Have a look
