RE: Strange Noise From Pass Seat Area
Glad to hear somebody else experienced this. I just got my 06 STS fixed. The farting noise comes from the actuator that is running the air filtration system. If you have the climate control set to automatic, the system will change from fresh air to recirculated air depending on air purity. If you drive in traffic, whenever you are behind a bus or another car's tailpipe, the A/C will go to recirculate--and you will hear the fart---then when the air in front of the car clears, you will hear another fart when the system goes back to fresh air ventilation. My dealer found a service bulletin on it and they ordered the part and fixed it. Cadillac calls it a "groan" but it sure sounds like a fart. My car started doing it when my in-laws were visiting for Xmas. I thought it was them! Anyway, it's fixable.
good luck
