Default 06 IS250 loud A/C?

Hey everyone.

Hopefully I am not repeating another thread on here, but I have been noticing that when my A/C is on (any fan level) there is a rather loud and annoying noise to accompany it. I have checked the cabin air filter already and there were no leaves or large debris in it. Is this a common problem at all? Or am I doing something wrong?

If you or a previous owner tried to change the cabin filter without putting the system into recirculate mode and broke the air door servo or linkage, you'll get a terrible noise. A video would help us know whether that's what you're hearing.

^Yeah, is this loud noise coming from behind the glove box area or is it from under the hood?

I experienced this when a receipt got inside the cabin air filter slot in the glove box. Since I have a mess in the glovebox a receipt some how managed to get in there and was making noise. Also if you are missing the door for the cabin air filter that can make noise as well.
