    i noticed it a while back and its came ant went but its getting worse and more frequent. I dont want to go to dealer theyre just going to say "cannot replicate" is there somewhere i can just grease up a gasket? thats kind of what it sounds like... any suggestions welcome i have no idea what components are in an a/c system im imagining some kind of duct valve with a gasket on it...

    When the A/C turns on or off, usually it's activating the recirculation function (on Auto). That closes a flap inside the ductwork, which you can hear if it's quiet in the cabin.
