Default 2 funky noises..

Well one happens everytime I start the car and it goes "BRRRRR" kind of like a mechanical robot type noise, and it comes from behind my glove box. It's done it once while driving also.

Then the other noise is a kind of winding high pitched squeal that comes from somewhere in the engine bay when it's running, Any time when it's on.

Any help would be appreciated!

The first noise is the evaporative emissions canister purging into the intake manifold. Perfectly normal.

If the squealing is loud and pulsing, I'd bet on a slipping accessory belt.
It could also be a sign of a noisy A/C compressor, but it would be RPM-dependent and only when the A/C is turned on.

Okay, i thought the noise might have been a relay or motor for the auto-antenna (which mine doesn't have from the previous owner) but that makes sense too (can you maybe explain what that is or why it does that though? ive never heard of something like that)

And the second noise is RPM dependant but i have yet to use the a/c so thats not on..

I'm pretty sure the constant high pitch sound is from the fuel pump.
