Question. Is the flapping at a very fast pace that would indicate the speed of a fan blade hitting something? If so, you may be on to something there such as a misplaced gasket or something has dropped/fallen into the blower box via a vent.
If it is not that speed then see the following..
Hope I can give you some direction. Speaking from a generic sense all ac/heaters these days have a door or doors in the blower box that control air flow from the main part of the box to different positions when you ask for vent, heater, mix, defrost etc..
Most these days are operated with a small electric servo/motor and unfortunately the mostly have plastic gears that wear and can "thump-thump" as the motor cycles trying to open or close the flapper door.
Try to change the air direction from Max AC to regular ac to heater, defroster, bi-level etc all with the AC switch in the on position if you have a separate on/off switch.
Listen to the sound and see if it comes and goes with a different location of the selector switch.
One last question. Does it happen at idle or driving down the road at any particular speed?
Lets start with that and see what happens. This is interesting.
My car's glovebox door/trim was rattleing makeing a static noise. I had a friend push up on the trim while it was making the sound, and it stopped, so I just jammed a small wad of tissue up between the trim, and that solved it for the time being. Funny thing tho, after I had my tires balanced, the noise went away never to return. You could have a faulty blower motor tho, if the tissue don't work, or you can't stop it by applying pressure to the trim, look into blower motor replacement.
if problem happens with electric cooling fan coming on .check fan assy. for broken blades/perimeter ring on both assy's [eng cold/off !!] have replaced two fan assy's in last two months, fortunatly shrapnel didn't damage hoses or wiring !
Not at all,it is normal for a car with electric fans,once hot,to run on full blast,until it gets back to normal temp.
if you start to loose power and the temp guage drops right down or hits the roof then start to worry.

Firstly we need to know what model etc. Noisy fan if viscus could be the viscus itself - fan blade hitting something on the shroud / housing. First check & make sure the small bolts haven't shaken lose. Good luck
I had the same problem twice. The dealer said it was a recall for a bad fan control switch. It's located under the glovebox near the center of the dash and held in by two screws. Last time i had to replace the part was about 34.00 and did it myself. The cover under the glovebox pops out and you can see the part. They had problems with them burning out and only work on high after that happens.
