thank you very much for your answer, it helped me alot. I now know to look elsewhere for my problem. AC is making noise when the blower speed is turned up, maybe it just needs to be cleaned out or replaced.

it might just be the blower motor going bad on you.

Could also have debris in the fan. Rodents are quite adept at taking fiberglass from under the hood and depositing it in the HVAC blower.

Here you go. It's for a 4Runner but a taco should be the same

It doesn't suck. It's worse.

With my previous truck, a '94, I pulled four nests out of the heater fan and one out from in front of the A/C evaporator. A mouse also got shredded in the fan and flung guts into the evaporator box. That's aside from the pee streaks they leave on everything. I pulled the beginnings of a nest out from under the intake in my current truck and I've only had that since August. Relatives were living here for a while in '11 and mice wrecked the headlight wiring of their truck and built a nest on the engine of their car. There are many other non-car stories, too.

Words cannot adequately describe the seething hatred I have for rodents.
