Yeah I know this is a G20 maintenance forum, but I figure HVAC is HVAC no matter what the car.
Anyway, when I turn on my I30's HVAC system it will occasionally make a buzzing noise from the passenger's side not unlike a weed-whacker (only not nearly that loud) that will go away after about 30 seconds and not reappear until the car sits for a while before being driven again. It only appeared after I had the car washed, so I'm wondering if some leaves or something got blown into the HVAC system. Or is my blower motor failing?
If it was shorting though I'd expect more of an electrical sound and a loss of functionality. This sounds more like something is loose or rattling around and it blows air just as hard as ever....I found a TSB on HVAC noise for the I30 which I'm going to call the local dealer about this week and see what I can find out.
Worst case scenario a replacement blower motor has an MSRP of about $10.
Its the blower motor telling you its about to give up the ghost, i'm a tech at an infiniti dealership and we deal with these in i30/i35s and the qx4s alot.

The blower motor assy is that cheap? Hope thats the right part, I'd like to see a blow-up picture, becuase thats supercheap, then again theres not much to one. I think we charge like 1/2 hour or an hour (our shop rate is about $95hr) so no its not expensive, but something as easy to do as that i'd just do it myself, i sent you a how-to mail, if you have any questions, just shoot them this way. And FYI the I35 grille and the sport/touring wheels (the five spokes)look great on those later I30 cars, I'd love to trade up from my g20 to a blue I30 w/ black interior, they're sexy.
