Turned out there were dry leaves in the ducts. That solved that problem - thank you very much. I still have no idea about the winding noise though. It seems like it starts up when I have my wheels turned (like when exiting a parking lot). I accelerate and that starts the noise. Then the whole drive for the rest of the day I'll hear the same noise when I release my foot from the accelerator and the RPM drops. Its similar to the noise you get when you turn your steering wheel to lock position, only much louder and uglier. Its really embarrassing when I took my friend for a ride who has an IS350 and his car is as quiet as a mouse.

But thanks for the help on the ticking noise, it seems to be resolved now.
