Hey, I'm wondering what might be causing this loud fan blaring noise on my 2017 CRV LX (base model)
The car now has 124k miles, general maintenance always kept up, but lately been hearing this noise for the first few minutes after starting it up following 1/2 day or longer of not using car.

Including these 2 videos I caught other day after I set up the phone with the hood open. It looks to be coming from 1 or both of those fans in the front of vehicle.
Anyone able to diagnose from this? Any help appreciated.

 

Sounds like somethings hitting the fan blades.

 

After someone else mentioned it could be the air compressor, they advised turning off the AC and trying. After starting the car with the AC off, the sound does persist, however both the fans were not moving.
This (i think) rules out the fans, but also the AC was completely turned off.

Managed to catch a short clip, but it just shows the same noise this time with the 2 fans lying still.

 

After some further digging, found this on a Reddit post;

Has a similar sound, could it be VTC actuator?

Then finding this video, panic;
