Default Dash noise only when stopped

Weird question for ya'll: What is that noise that comes from the left side of the steering wheel in the dash when the car is stopped? If Im correct, it only does it when the air (heat or AC) is on. I dont know what it is, but its sounds like a continuous thud that you can feel when you put your hand on the dash. Its annoying and getting louder. Help me please?

Thanks guys,
Zach

Had a similar problem with my 93, was just the passenger side, once i replaced the rear motor mount and tranny mount it stopped, motor mount wasnt broke, but wasnt in its best condition. Might just need to be tightened?

Nice thought, but the sound is originating from the dash - from the inside of the car. Im thinking it has something to do with a switch that directs air flow for the climate control - maybe the shutter that turns on and off air flow to the floor?
