It just started today. I've got this noise coming from under the passenger side dash when the air is on. Engine doesn't have to be running either. I took a video of the sound (ignore the wind chimes). Wondering if any other owners recognize the sound and could tell me what is the cause. Also I've had my car since 2012 and its just started making this noise. I've got about 60000 miles on it.

Have you checked the blower motor for leaves?

Oh man do I have stories on blower motor (cabin air) filter changes. I've seen everything in friends cabin air filters. In general:
- people forget to change them until the motor or speed control rheostat (needs air velocity to keep cool) fails
- rodents set up shop somewhere in the intake area

I just took out the blower motor and it was all clean. I cranked back up and watched it spin and it was making the noise. Maybe it's warped or something. I might just deal with it instead of dropping $75 for a new one

do you have the ability to change the speed or it stuck on high

Sounds like the blower motor may have a faulty bearing.
