Loose screw? Wire hitting plastic could be anything really. Just take the glove box out and have a look round

Sounds like an HVAC flap actuator gear has dislocated.

There's a bunch of them, but its likely only one will be causing your issue if the noise is local to the glovebox area. If I recall correctly the glovebox-area actuator is the most accessible...some of the other central ones are a nightmare of a dash strip-down. PM full VIN if your needing any reference.
