Default noise coming from inside the dash

okay really weird noise coming from inside my dash .the noise is coming from where the clock is and you can you hear it more if you open the glove box . sounds like there's a mouse in their squeaking . Help any one had this issue. Ac on and off still makes noise.

It's one or more of your a/c servo motors crapping out. They need to be repaired or replaced. They are pretty straight forward to replace. See this DIY.

My car is currently doing the same thing I could not figure it out. I thought it would stop if I turned the A/C off but it still continued.

That's because the servos are still getting power, and they can't get to the position the climate control module it commanding, even with the a/c off, so they keep trying to move to the commanded position.

Some guys pulled their servos and took them apart and cleaned them, or repaired them to reuse. Yeah, it costs more to replace with new servos, but I think the time saved vs. repairing is MORE than worth it.
