Better to check it now than wait for it to blow. How bad is the noise? Is the blower hard to spin by hand? Do you have a mechanic's stethascope you can listen with and try to pinpoint? Are your sure it is the blower?

guys - thanks for the advice - good news, i think - it looks like it was a mechanical resonance, not a problem in the blower. my mechanic heard the same rattle, and noticed there was a spot where the blower was touching the hood. He got out a grinder and ground back around the area and no more noise! I drove about 60 miles and didn't hear anything.
Funny how that noise was never there before ... no complaint tho!
*phew*
