AC fan jingling noise

Hi. I have a 2017 X3 F25. When I turn my AC fan on and set it to the mid speed range I hear a strange jingling or very light rattle coming from somewhere behind the glove box. At super low fan speeds I don't hear it, and at the highest fan speed I don't hear it. I also notice that I can make it jingle if I slow the car; I'm guessing the braking force does something to the fan or shroud by shifting its position or something. It's drive me crazy. It doesn't sound like the noise other BMW owners have expressed which is similar to a playing card hitting spokes on a bike wheel. This noise I'm describing sounds like some tinny sheet metal jiggling.

How can I get in to see the fan? Where is it and how is it accessed?

Also has anyone else had this problem?

Thank you.
