While sitting in traffic a few minutes into the drive a loud sound began and did not stop until I parked the car and stopped driving.
The sound was louder on the left of the car and sounded as if it was from the front end of the car.
It sounded like a dust buster.
The car is a 2000 S with around 90k miles. Runs fine and will drive again in a bit to see how it does.
What's really strange is that last night the house woke to a strange vacuum like sound...
It was louder near the front of the house rather then the back where the car is though so I don't think that's related.

There is a radiator fan on each side of the front and an engine compartment fan on the passenger side rear. When the fans activate the fronts have two settings, a low speed and high speed. The high speed fan is loud and if you are in a dirt field parking area will actually kick up dust that ends up on your car. It does sound like a dust buster but in fact can be a dust creator. Perhaps the sound you're hearing is the fan.
