Ringing noise near glove box

[D4FFN]

Hi there, I hope someone can help me solve what I'm sure is a very simple yet very annoying problem.

A month ago I bought a 2000 CLK 230K auto Coupe and I'm very pleased with it. 4 days ago I noticed a very faint ringing noise that occured infrequently. Now it has turned into a louder whining ringing noise that appears to be coming from the passenger side, underneith the glove box.

The noise occures on and off whilst the engine is running either in gear or whilst parked and whilst driving. The nose can not be heard from the engine!! it is heard whilst inside the cabin.

Someone please help. It's driving me mad.

Many thanks.

Hi,
Have you noticed wether its tied in with your heater fan? As there is a pollen filter fitted underneath the glove box on a CLK I was thinking the cover might be loose and air leaking out.

Bushy30, I found your reply very unhelpful but ****** hilarious, so put a smile on my face and had a laugh about the whole thing.

Bigasotonuk, you might be onto something there! I have removed the paneling to reveal a "Temp-something" box. On further inspection the noise is inbetween a ringing/ sqrueking/whistling/eeeeeeeekkkk kind of noise so could be leaking air. Will investigate more tomorrow. Until then any further thoughts are truely welcome from all.

Ps: I've not lost my alarm clock either before anyone suggests it!!!!
