Mysterious vibration noise coming from glove box area

[Frank_The_Tank]

OK, so this has happened to me several times now. So far it's only happened when the car was cold, but it doesn't seem like it would matter. Anyways, when I start the car, there's this semi-loud vibration/noise coming from the glove box area. I have no clue what it could be. And it's not like the wheel is vibrating or anything (thank God!), it's like i just put my phone in the glove box and called it, but somehow amplified the vibration. And it's constant. It usually only last about 30 seconds and then doesn't happen again for a couple weeks, but this last time it lasted for about double the normal amount of time and after it stopped the first time started again for just a few seconds. It's really worrying me, but I have absolutely no idea what this could be! I checked this thread, which sounds maybe similar, but it didn't really help much: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/157499-vibration-stalls-sputtering-whats-going.html

Any ideas/help is really appreciated!

Remove the glove box and see if you can find it. Otherwise it very well could be one of your solenoids on the firewall making excessive noise.

Could be the interior panel on the A-pillar. Mine has come loose a few times, I know yours is a 2g but it wouldn't hurt to check.

might want to check the blower motor it might be the cause im not saying it could be but its a posibility though

Exactly what I was thinking as I saw the title.

Pull the blower motor out and see if there might be something stuck in the fan. It could be that the bearings in the motor on it are going bad. Mine made a lot of noise so I eventually swapped it out for one I pulled from the junkyard.

i had a dead mouse in mine when i bought the car it made the same noises and it didnt blow any air through the vents bc there was a nest in the tubes

i dont think it was dead long bc i bought my car from an impound lot and it had been sitting there for awhile some drug using chick from chicago had it before me and it was trashed so there were far worse smells than the mouse since it sold as is
