does it happen right around when you shift gears? (1-2,2-3)
because my car started doing the same thing 4 days ago (3590 miles)
seems when i turn the A/c down to try to hear it , it doesnt do it..
does it seem like it is comming from under the hood?

Double-check the outlet setting. Mine's quite loud when its set to bi-level (both dash and floor vents) and the fan is running fast. Much quieter when its just using the dash vents. Not that its exactly quiet at full fan anyway, but it does cool well so I can forgive that.

That's a good bet. Mine has 11500 miles on it and it's been hot lately and I have no unusual noise coming from mine.

I find the sound to be annoyingly loud on high with recirculate and the smell is not bad, but noticably irritating. It's really been stinking hot here so I'm running it constantly. Only 500 miles on my '07 so maybe it needs a little more breaking in.

Sound is definitely coming from motor. It happens when a/c motor kicks into high gear. Dealer actully simulated this and happened when motor was at 80%. Once that happened, dealer said, yep, that is normal happens on every 06 vette. Until, I can get to a different dealer, I guess I will just wait and hope a/c moter goes out all together and get a new one.
