Hi,
By chance, could you record the noise and upload it for me to hear? I'm asking because I have a feeling you are hearing the AC belt under the hood. It is on the opposite side of the firewall from the glove box.
Here is what to try: Open the hood, have a helper start the engine and turn on the A/C. Place the vehicle in gear or whatever is needed to cause the noise while you listen under the hood for the noise. If you hear it, pour a small amount of water on the belt to see if the sound changes. Just make sure to protect your eyes from the water flinging back toward you and stay clear of the moving components.
Let me know what you find. I attached a pic below showing the location of the A/C compressor. The belt is my first suspect in this case.
Take care,
Joe
