Heat/Air ticking noise

When the heat/air is turned on, the fan underneath the dash on the passanger side makes a slight ticking noise, and it annoys the crap out of my gf. When it was at the dealer a while back, they said "did not hear noise" and it is apparently there. Like there is something like a leaf or something stuck in the fan. Any advice? Easy to take apart possibly? Thnx.

Figures. Wind blows into the back passanger window like hell, squeeks when turning, etc. All fixable stuff tho. I could NEVER just get used to stuff though myself, would drive me insane!

Under basic warranty? Let me know what the cost would have been w/o warranty if you can.

Ya, mine's been doing it for weeks. Is it under the dash, or up at the passenger side feet area? I want to take a peak in there and see what's causing it.

GM protection plus. $100 deductible. I don't remember the price exactly. Somewhere right around the $200 mark IIRC.

lol I have a G5 as a rental car this week, and it's doing it too! Didn't know the G5 is the same car as the Cobalt.. Car has 20K miles, damn. It only does it in the 1st speed.
