Default 3rd Gen - Air-Con Vibration

Noticed today that while sitting at the lights I hear a vibration while the air-con is running. It's feels like a rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr / vibration noise and can just feel it through the brake pedal. I also noticed while driving at about 80-100 km's you can feel it through the seat. Turning the air-con button off (so just the fan is running) seems to get rid of the vibration.

Anyone have any ideas?

Car has done about 208000 km's.

After driving it for a while it really wasn't that noticeable anymore. Strange.

I notice it on my 07 ES350. Drives me nuts! I've been in $20K cars that don't do it. Disappointing.

It only does it now and then, and really only noticed it yesterday.
