Both fans are on when the a/c is running. Thats when Im hearing the scrubbing/rattling sound. Im starting to think its the fan motor. The sounds usually goes away if I accelerate and comes back when Im stopping or idle.

I'm bringing this back up...I'm experiencing the same on my LS4 ('98)...I hear the noise coming from the vent..goes away when I accelerate/ noise comes back when stop. Weird part...i parked the car noise goes away..put it on drive (not yet moving) noise comes back...any ideas where I should look?
