I lied (but not intentionaly). I do hear two clicks. The first sounds
like one is behind me under the back seat and another one from under the
left dash clicking simutaneously (thus the "2 at once" reference, I
presume). The second click is alone and sounds like it is coming from
under the left dash.

The "whoosh" starts immediately after the second click and sounds for
about a second and stops.
