Default Buzzing sound when a/c fan is on

I notice a buzzing sound when the a/c fan is on at mid to full fan speed regardless if a/c is on or not. It sounds kind of like a piece of paper buzzing. Anyone else notice this or is mine unique. Hate to tear into dash just to find out this is normal

My A/C is very quite.

I haven't had this problem on my C5 but I had a Miata that would suck leaves into the fresh air intake and they would cause a buzzing with the fan on.
The way I fixed it was to cover the car so the leaves didn't get on the car.
The leaves eventually break up and come flying out the vents.

I had a similar sound. I ran the AC in recycle mode at full fan several times for several minutes. This technique seemed to clear whatever was causing the fluttering. I do not know if this is a sure fire fix for your problem; however, it is certainly worth a try! Good Luck!
