Mysterious sound coming from under the glovebox

So my most recent FD mystery comes in the form of a constant noise that seems to be coming from under the glovebox area. To describe it best, it sounds like a CD player that keeps trying to eject over and over. Does anyone have an idea about what's down there and what it might be? What I can check?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe one of the controls for the heater/AC air flow direction is somehow cycling.
That is the only thing in that area that could make that type of noise.

When i had my new cd player installed the installer didnt hook my negative battery terminal up tight enough and it produced a slight buzzing noise.

The "fan motor" can get anything in it from leaves to critters. Turn off the ac/heater fans and see if it stops.

Easy to drop the fan out and clean.

I do know this noise is present with or without the fan/ac on.

Did you ever figure out what was causing the noise?

Do you have an ems mounted there? A friend of mine had this issue after installing a hondata.
