Default Blower whine

No its not supercharged haha, but I do have some noise coming from the blower motor area. I'm hearing a whining/whistling on the two highest fan speed settings but only if it is on fresh air. It does not make any weird noises at all on recirculate at any speed which doesnt make sense. It can be running full blast on recirculate and as soon as I switch it over to fresh air I start hearing the whistling noise

Don't take the blower out until after removing the cabin air filter and looking in there for debris. You can even run the blower a bit while looing into the filter slot or even spin the blower by hand. You can do this in 10 minutes.
