Whistling sound 14' sti sedan

hey all.. this is my first post. I just recieved my 14' sti and it currently has 800 miles. It is stock. Recently, I noticed a weird whistling sound... almost like the air vents are turned on or something at idle. my vents are turned off and recirculating... Is this normal? or should i take it into the dealership... thanks for any input you guys have.

Don't know what you are hearing but everything sounds normal to me. I even listened to it a few times. If you feel it gets worse just take it by the dealership. That's what they give you a warranty for, but it's sounds fine. Welcome to the forum though!

I don't think my phone is picking it up. It basically sounds like air is being pushed through the vents but they aren't turned on.
