Default Air condition noise while changing airflow?

Hi all,
I'm starting to notice some squeaking sounds while changing the airflow for the AC.
Pretty much all of the options will make a sound, but especially changing from Head+feet to head only, and vice versa.

Has anyone ran into this issue before?

I've had this happen awhile back when there was a lot of humidity in the car.
It disappeared on its own after a short time.

I'd suggest you bring it into the dealer if the problem persists though.

Interesting... I don't sense much humidity in the car, but I've been taking my car in for odor coming out of my air vents for 3 times, and they have yet to fix that problem.

Maybe the two problems are related?

I'll take it in again I guess....
Has anyone been having these 2 issues?

I've been recently hearing this chattering sound coming from under the steering column, sounds almost like an electrical/relay clicking when I go over bumps or uneven road. I thought it was the servo motor but it doesn't seem to make noise when I change the airflow option. Still haven't figured out what the sound is and it's mainly during the morning drive and happens randomly so I can't really take it in to the dealer and re-create the sound, they would just say they don't hear anything and be done with it haha. I hope it goes away!! Anyone else have this metal sound? (almost like 2 coins hitting eachother)
