Heater noise
I have a noise occurring when the heater is running. It is a humming noise that actually sounds like it is coming from behind the seats, but that makes no sense to me.
The noise is not random, but sort of a continuous rhythm. It stops immediately when I turn off the Heater.
Suggested fix is appreciated.

When the blower fan/motor starts making noise, most of the time it's heard coming from under the dash, where it's obviously located. But, maybe in your case you're getting sound transferred down/through the console, maybe? I don't know. If you can isolate it to be definitely the blower fan/motor it does seem to be one of the few simple replacements on the car. 
Anyway just for info, from member HOXXOH:

Pop out two fasteners from the panel under the glovebox. Unplug the electrical connector. Remove 3 screws from the fan assy. and you're done.

Yes I do but I thought that's what you were saying, so I misunderstood the original post.
I guess you have some detective work to do to isolate the source. Please let us know what you find.

I had the extra pleasurable experience of pulling a family dead baby mice from the heater fan of my 6 month old Grand Sport last winter. They made the fan out of balance and it made a resonant humming noise inside the car. Pull the cabin air filter out and was able to see inside the heater fan with a mirror and/or boroscope. Sucked the dead tiny mice out with a a piece of 3/8 vacuum hose taped onto a shop vac.
