You likely do not have a cabin air filter installed and have either sucked something out of your glove box or from outside into the fan.

Turn the knob to recirculate, remove your glove box, and open the cabin air filter cover (the 1.5" x 6" rectangle on the left) and take a peek into the top of your fan.

I was able to remove thw glove box. Removed a paper I saw but the noise is still going. How do I remove the actual fan or get a better look inside. BTW you were spot on I never had air cabin filter installed.

To get the fan itself out, there is one connector and three screws on the bottom of the fan housing and you can drop it right onto the front passenger floor.

Spot on man! Thanks finally had time from my schedule. I never did take the fan out. But I was able to pull out a napkin and a piece of white note paper. And the sound was gone!

I can not believe the shop wanted to charge me $300.
