Squeeling noise from the a/c vent area..

I'm experiencing during normal driving squeeling noise that emanates from the vents area. Likely behind the dash centre console. It occurs when I am driving on less than smooth road surfaces. I couldn't find any TSB on it. Any thoughts?

Looks like it is indeed from the fan. It squeels when it is on. I will check the cabin air filter this weekend.

I think I like to see how dirty is the cabin filter is first. Maybe something got clogged and started to hit the fan blades.
