Default Need some advice

I recently had the water pump replaced on my 05. The car runs fine and the temp gauge is right where is should be, but the fan (maybe it's a secondary fan) is running fast (and loud) almost constantly. I talked to the Corvette Tech about it and he hooked up his computer and said that no codes were showing. The fan did not work like this before the water pump replacement. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jim

Do you hear this loud,fast fan when you are inside the car with the engine running or do you only hear it when you are outside the car?
I'm trying to get a clearer mental image of what exactly you're hearing.

I have a Dyno Tune and I do hear the fan when the engine is running and I'm at a stop sign. Once I get rolling it's hard to hear because of headers. When I park and turn the engine off there is a very noticeable whine which takes a few seconds to stop.
