It seems to be coming from behind the passenger side dashboard area (probably more apparent directly behind the glovebox).

Its a 2010 320D Coupe. I've heard something about some unit that lives behind there and its common for the flaps to stick but I now can't find any details about it (I read it a long time ago).

Anyone have a similar noise and know if its normal or is something wrong?
Have you tried turning the air con off? I get a slight whine from the AC pump. Basically the blower motor for the vents are underneath/behind the glovebox, and with weather and moisture the bearing may rust causing a bit of a whine.
