This is normal (in my 2011) 
I believe the car is cycling the vents closed to prevent moisture intrusion. Why it does it in phases is beyond me.
I've spent the night in the car a few times and it'll do it with no prompt. 

It's only abnormal if it

1) make noises that are worse than normal:  'normal: electronic servo noises' (Bad: clank clank grinding gear noises or similar)

2) keeps going for more than 30 seconds: Normal: 15 -30 seconds of noises, then silence. (Bad: aimlessly cycle over and over and over for 2-3 minutes)

3) during normal engine-on operation you cannot get the different vent modes (defog, floor, face, recirc, or heat / cool to operate in all three zones. this means the blend/bleeder mechanisms have failed, and need replacement.
