Weird whoosh/vader sound after first PETG prints

Hi, 

I've printed a lot of PLA so far (running since Christmas), yesterday I've tried PETG, today I moved back to PLA and have this weird wooshing sound coming out.

Video:

First I thought it's because of new fan cover, but it remains after taking it down.

Any idea what might be the issue?

Best Answer by Diem:

Does it happen with other prints?

It's possible that the internal cavities, the gaps between the fill, just happened to be at a resonant frequency with the speed of the fan...

One-offs occur for the oddest reasons.

If this persists there might be something loose, bring your next regular maintenance session forward.

Cheerio,

I will be checking it more today. It's my first 3d printer so I was worried something might go horribly wrong and wanted to ask before I start new print. Thanks!

So far so good. It might have been a one off, glad it didn't blow up 🙂

It seems that it's air from nozzle cooling fan playing on gyroid 5% infill 🤣 just experienced it again and that's a common between those two prints 😆
