Default Help...Strange Noise

Good afternoon I posted this in general but thought I might have better luck here.

I started my 06 base model up this morning and noticed a strange noise coming from what seems like the passenger side of the car behind the dash. I have heard it before but shut the car down and restarted it and it went away. It has been awhile and now it is back. The best way to describe it is almost like a cooing sound (think like a dove). It is faint and starts and stops almost rhythmically. I got out popped the hood and could not hear the same noise anywhere in the engine bay. I took a look at the HB since wobbling is so common but I do not see any wobble and normally that emits more of a chirping type sound from what I have researched. If anyone has encountered this any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all the wealth of knowledge on here.

**wanted to also mention that it occurs with no AC running or heat. Seems to only happen at mile 40-55 type air temps but i cant really be sure*

I had the same problem with my 2012 making a vibration or low hum from the right front passenger side. Turns out there is a part in the air induction system that has delaminated and vibrates at certain wind speeds or angles.
My dealer did the fix under warranty, since there is a service notice on the problem.

I wonder if it could be the plastic cowl at the bottom of the windshield on the outside.
