Default Sound coming from Underneath Glove compartment/Passenger footwell

Hey guys,

I've been noticing a weird sound coming from the passenger side footwell when I start the car and my climate control is at a certain point. It lasts as long as a I drive and is constant independent of RPM's, speed, etc. When I turn it to a higher/warmer setting, it usually goes away so I think it has to do with the A/C or Heating system. My guess would be a/c compressor or some kind of solenoid? It still cools just fine and heats perfectly as well so I don't know what's up.


1999 Honda Accord v6. Thanks!

maybe something in the heating/ac unit that's interfering with the blower wheel? like a leaf?

without a youtube vid to see/ hear it, i'm just throwing a dart at your dartboard

Id say your wrong, he said it's making noise. That has nothing to do with it still producing heat or a/c *****. The fan motor starts to go and the bearings make noise.

Thanks for the input fellas, if I could describe the sound, it's almost like a DJ scratching. If I were to check for leaves, where would I start? I'm assuming it's going the route similar to replacing the cabin air filter? Thanks guys
