Loud blower motor/fan

Lately I noticed my blower motor/fan getting rather loud. I can hear it very clearly. This tick tick tick as the fan is moving from under the glove box.
Since my ac is always on(damn south Fl weather) Do you think it's just wearing out? Would a new blower motor/fan quiet it down? Has anyone had it apart to see if it can be lubed to quiet it?

A new one is only about $65.

My cabin filters are clean & the AC works fine. It's just loud inside the cabin from the blower motor/fan turning.

Because of how much of a pain in the ass it is to get to and the fact that it's only $65 I'd probably just go ahead and replace it. You could almost certainly get it to stop by cleaning and lubricating the motor but it's not going to be a permanent fix. Since it's running all the time, you're going to run into things like free play in the bearings that are not worth the time, effort and money to bother repairing.

Get the new one, swap it out and be done with it.

Mine is the same way, it also seems to run more often than it should. Replacement time.
