Could be fan hitting some plastic piece in HVAC system.

Does it only occur when you at in recirculate?

Recirculating air is just a button, not a fan. When is off, fresh air is coming in, when recirculating the outside air is blocked.

All the details are here in this thread below. Had this myself and replaced the part. Common problem with the air actuator in the dash. I took the part and Jimmy replaced for me. I showed him the instructions for saving time online which can be found in this thread below:

Looks like the OP has the same vintage ride as mine.
