Default RX330 ventilation fan noise

Has any RX330 owners heard this ventilation fan noise?

When AC is off and ventilation is on at the lower setting, I could hear a faint noise. The noise goes away once I turn the ventilation off. The noise is not very loud. It sounds like a squeaky ball bearing. Or it sounds like many crickets chirping in the background.

I noticed the same noise on my own RX330 and on another RX330 loaner car as well. I had driven various models of Lexus cars, SC400, ES300, and RX300 for many years at various times before and I had never heard such noise on those models.

Wondering if this noise is normal for this RX330 model.

I haven't heard the noise either. I know when the temperature is low enough outside the defroster will run at low even if you don't turn it on.
