This happened to me too but it did it all day, it was a fairly loud humming. I'm not sure what it was or what caused it but it went away by its self somehow. My guess is something just rattled loose.

Chances are, this is your problem (see link). Worth investigating before you take it to a mechanic/stealership

Does it hum at speeds 1,2,3 and 4 or only 3,4-ish. My blower motor was doing that some weeks ago,took it apart washed it out and that was it. It was dirty i guess.

so i tried that out... didnt see anything in there was clean and what not... someone told me that it could be the same motor of that fan that was causing the noise (to be honest when i heard the noise. i didnt really hear it coming from there...
my wife states that she has heard that noise when the ac is off, and its more towards the driver side...

any ideas??? or something worth checking?

thanks again for any help given.
