Tweety bird noise from vents

I’m new to this forum and I’ve decided to make a thread concerning the noise that has been bothering me for the past couple of days. It’s this tweety bird noise that comes from the vents at random moments while braking and turning the car. Is this a serious issue?

Does the noise change if the fan is running at a different speed or turned off completely? The blower is notorious in these cars for developing squeaks, and I've heard folks reporting variations in the noise when they brake or turn.

Make sure the cabin filter is seated correctly. Any gaps and all kinds of cool indescribable noises come out of everywhere.

yes this is exactly what happens, the higher the fan speed the less of a tweety bird noise. Also while turning and braking the noise is way louder than at normal cruising. Even when the fan is off it makes a slight noise.
