Default 2002 GS430 Dash Noise

My 2002 GS430 is masking this buzzing noise from the Dash area. My climate control servos used to make a noise like a rat was in the dash, but that has since gone away. Now when I start the car there is a buzzing noise that comes from the dash. It last about 15-20 seconds then goes away. If anyone has driven an old diesel Mercedes and remembers the buzzing when you first put the key in the ignition, it is like that. The car is driving fine, and everything is working, so i'm guessing it is nothing major. If anyone has anyone info on what this might be I would appreciate it.

My dash makes a clicking sound and its coming from the center of the dash. Not sure if that was the climate control servos or not. How did you make that servos noise go away?
