Default Strange Clicking Noise

I need some help identifying a problem with my Lexus IS 300. A few days ago the car started making a "clicking" noise that can be heard from the interior, from what I know the sound isn't coming from the engine bay (I may be wrong though). The sound only occurs when I turn the car on in the morning and it only lasts for about a mile or two then it completely goes away until I turn it on again the next morning. I have a YouTube video that captures the sound (it starts at around 8 or 9 seconds). I'd really appreciate it if one of you can help me figure out what is causing the sound. I'm filming inside the glove-box if that makes any difference.

Blend door motor/actuator it is the component that switches your a/c from face to feet etc... That actuator can go bad and make it try to switch witch is what it sounds like to me as well but it's a pain cuz you gotta remove a lot of the dash if not the whole thing
