Default Loud fan-like noise when car is running

As long as the car is running, I just started getting this fan-like noise. It's like a blow dryer or a large fan. When I shut the car off, it takes about 5 additional seconds for the fan noise to wind down. It's loud enough that other people not in the car could hear it to. Any ideas??? Please help!
