Default Interior Fan Whining

Hey all,

My interior fan has been whining as of late whenever I have it on the level 1 & 2 settings. 3 & 4 you can't hear because of the amount of air being pushed in.

Does this just sound like the fan is going out? I'm not sure where the fan is located or I would check...

Any ideas or help appreciated

Ok, I should have titled it as "Blower Motor making noise".. or something like that.

After doing research it sounds like its the Blower motor.

Any help on how to get to it? So far I've only seen "its on the passengers side of the dash.

Thanks!

Here is what my motor looked like. (if the picture will upload...)
No missing blades, no leaves or animals haha.

It does have a slight whine to it when I spin it manually, so I'm thinking its almost time to just replace it.

Still blows perfectly so I'll just leave it be for now. Unless anyone knows of any maintenance I should perform on it!
