Cricket chirping noise coming from AC?

[thunderman]

I was wondering if this has ever happened to any of you:
You hear a sort of chirping noise, or almost like a whistle coming from your vents when the air is on. Sometimes it whistles more on different numbers, is especially on number 2, and it will stop when I change it to #3. AND now I am noticing some of the black foam coming out of my vents and small pieces blowing around my car LOL.

Has this happened to anyone, andwhat can I do?

TIA

I also get intermittent low "chirping" on fan speed 1. If, while it chirping, I turn to fan speed 2 and then back, the chirping usually goes away for a few minutes.

I am assuming it must be a fan bearing, but I would be happy to be wrong if it were a cheaper or easier fix.

Is this a PITA to replace/repair?
