Hi Rooster1.
The blower motor is easy access once the glovebox is removed on the RX330, your younger brother. lol
Hopefully other members can confirm this on the RX300.

I do know the blower removes with 3 screws on your car(see below).
You probably have a candy wrapper or something jammed in the fins causing a noist racket.

Post up pics for everyone if ya want when you get it apart, tips and tricks too just for fun.

Try a simple investigation first.
Remove the cabin air filter and see if something or part of the filter is being sucked in.
