A pessimistic assessment would be that you no longer are hearing the noise because the damage has already occurred (the arm on the motor has snapped). If that is true, the motor will cycle very quietly but will not shut the recirculation door. To check, set the air flow through the defroster vents and turn the fan on to a relatively high speed. Push the "recir" button and listen for a change in the sound of the rushing air. If no change, then the recirculation door is not closing.
Whether the recirculation function is working or not, there is little danger of doing more harm to other parts of the system by continuing to use the heater/air conditioner. I suspect many people go for years not knowing that it is broken (I did!). The fix is to remove the motor (after removing the glove box and some trim) and install a new arm, which is about $29 from a dealer. I just finished doing it. It's not a fun job (not much room down there) but doable.
