    There's a weird noise coming from behind my glove box so I think its the cabin air filter although I just had it replaced. If anyone knows what it is please let me know.

    Like some of the others said, just open it up and see for yourself and feel around. Whoever replaced it might not have gotten all the debris out cause a lot of stuff will accumulate there throughout time.
