Could you be more specific? Does the noise get louder when you change the fan speed? Or is it when you adjust the temperature for more heat?

Could be some leaves or like in my case, pine needles get in there and ratchet on the blower cage.
Mine eventually ground away.

Yeah my 1994 Gmc Sierra does the exact thing when i turn the heat to a higher speed. I dont hoenstly know what it is and i havn't checked if there were anyting stuck in the cage but i will. Hopfully someone knows what may cause this i though it could just need oiling? But i dunno gotta wait to summer to find out.

I had a 2000 GMC Sierra that had the same problem. It turned out to be a really dirty "cabin filter" was causing the fan to make the noise due to strain. Don't know if your year truck has a "cabin filter" but if it does, change it out and I'll bet the problem gets solved.

I had a leaf get down into the cage and it made a lot of noise. I pulled the blower motor and cleaned out the leaf.
No cabin air filters until 99 NBS.

I have a 2000 GMC sierra 1500 and I have heard that same humming noise while the heat or A/C was on. The noise also got louder when i turned the dial to a higher speed. So I took the blower motor out and found 2 leaves in it. Then I took the leaves out then put it all back together and it works perfectly. I hope this helps somebody because I was very frustrated with it. Thanks
