Default Noise from left side temp sensor area

Hi all! I'm hearing a noise from the left side temp sensor area - but only when the heater fan speed is on low. Turn the fan off, the noise stops. Sounds like a little rattling fan running behind the grab handle and head liner.
Any ideas?

There is a fan behind that grab handle. If you look closely you will see a little inch by inch or so grill. if you get that grill off gently you will see the fan that sucks air in for the temp sensor. Use compressed air in a can like for cleaning a computer and blow it out. It might just be dirt and stuff that's making it imbalanced. It could also be that the motor is going out but cleaning is cheap and easy so give it a shot.

Here you go, pictures and everything >>>
