Didn't work. Is it a shop vac sound? Next time it happens, pay attention to it and whether it stops at the same time your idle drops from ~12-1300rpm down to normal idle. If it does, it's a sign that the secondary air pump (SAP) is failing.

it stops before the idle drops down to 1000RPM the fan stops like after 20 seconds and than later on when the RPM's drop the muffler stops being loud
