for a new one. Mine was making quite a bit of noise as well, and recently I followed the advice of this and other Saab boards and cleaned it - now it's whisper quiet.
You have to remove the panel on the right of the console (the one left of the passenger foot well) to access the fan. Push the little tabs with a screwdriver, and you can then remove the fan from the rear of the console. Unplug the wire harness at the end.
What happens with these things is that dust, hair, and other stuff builds up causing them to make noise. You can use compressed air to get the crud out - I just blew directly into the fan and the dust dislodged and went away. I then used a synthetic bike chain lubricant and spread some generously around the fan axle with a q-tip. I then blew on the fan blade while holding the fan upright so the oil would make its way down the shaft.
Mine has now been quiet for a month now, an the interior is a much more pleasant place to be. Pay attention to the orientation of the filiment/sensor at the end of the unit, and replace it the same way.
Some have had luck with simply turning the unit upside down, but cleaning would be a much better way to go.
