Intermittent fan noise from or near glove compartment?

I'm hearing fan noise comes and go, for like 10 sec and goes away, near by the glove compartment - is this normal? or am I having failing or going bad water pump? it doesn't sound like fan by radiator but more from inside of glove compartment.

No, I don't think it's related to climate control, it comes on and go every often regardless climate control on/off

Ecu box has a fan in it. Either that or open the hood when the noise is coming to see if it's the radiator fan.

If bit that then try the water pump bleed test. Switch to on without running engine then hold the throttle down for about 30 sec and you will hear the water pump turn on at various speeds
