Running into a little issue this week. With the temperature in the upper 90s an lower 100s I've been running my a/c constantly. This week is seems like my fans have been working extra hard and not normal,they seem to be running too high and causing a slight vibration in my steering wheel/ front end. I've recorded the sound coming out of my engine compartment.

sounds like you might have something rubbing against a fan

Or it could be a chunk broken out of the fan. That would cause an imbalance.

OP should open the hood (with the engine off, and COLD) and check to see if there are any pieces missing from the fan blade assembly.
