Hamster wheel spinning (sounds like)when AC is on! You?

Any of you Taco owners here something spinning when you turn "ON" your air/AC? After a while, I've got to turn it off because it's the most annoying sound ever. I'm hoping it's a "do-it-yourself" job. Please advise. Thanks brother.
Hey...on a side note, what about the molding around the window. My is coming off on the bottom left side. The whole strip and the black rubber piece are loose and can't seem to figure it out. Can't take it to the dealer because Im at 54k miles. Don't feel like paying for that since they're service is already a premium here.

 

crack your window and call it vandalism, they should fix the whole thing......dont forget to mention that picasso that got stolen too

 

I don't have the answer to either but my AC just started making a strange noise similar to what you are describing but only when my vehicle is in neutral or park and the air is on. Dosen't matter how high I have it set.

 

Probably either brush noise in the motor or a piece of foliage got into the blower section.
