Good afternoon,
This sounds like the actuator motor that is making the noise.
It is under the left side of the dash and a couple of things have to be removed to access the actuator.

Inspection
1. Ignition "OFF"
2. Disconnect the connector of mode control actuator.
3. Verify that the mode control actuator operates to the defrost mode when connecting 12V to the terminal 3and grounding terminal 4.
4. Verify that the mode control actuator operates to the vent mode when connecting in the reverse.

5. Check the voltage between terminals 5 and 6.

It will feedback current position of actuator to controls.
6. If the measured voltage is not specification, substitute with a known-good mode control actuator and check for proper operation.
7. If the problem is corrected, replace the mode control actuator.
