Default Is your AC fan motor loud?

When I turn my AC fan to all the way up its louder than what ive experiened in other cars. Do these cars in your guys opinion have loud blowers or is my fan out of balance?

When is the last time you disassembled it and shook all the crud out of it? It's just a plug and 3 bolts, and it'll fall right into your hand.

My AC is pretty loud, but I wouldn't notice since Iron Maiden is always louder

You'll notice it when you burn up the motor and have no A/C.

It's inside the car, under passenger side dash. Disconnect the motor connector, remove 3 bolts, remove mice...

It's cylindrical, rounded on the bottom, about the size of a softball. You can't miss it. If you were sitting in the passenger seat, it would be just above your right foot.
If you can't get to the elect connection, then undo the 3 screws, and drop it down. Then you can unplug it.
