what situations is the car in when you hear this noise ? does it sound like a buzzing or a humming ? does it only do it when your moving or when our stoped ? does it go away when you turn the climate control off? any extra information would be good. its hard to know what a noise is when you don't know how or when it occures.

We just bought a 2015 Passat SE. It makes a similar noise. Slow when idling, it speeds up when we start driving. Sort of sounds like a water fountain pump when the water is low. It's a low pitch sound.
