Default 2003 cabin filter baffling noise

i recently had the cabin filter replaced by valvoline in my 2003 camry. the filter was the original factory filter. now whenever i turn on the AC theres a a huge vibrating noise. the higher the speed, the louder the noise gets. is there a quick fix to this problem?

i found this:

If the noise started right after the filter change then start there. Check the filter for proper installation and that it is not vibrating.

There was likely solid debris (ex twigs, leaves or seeds) from the old filter that fell into the motor/fan assembly while being removed. The debris caught in the fan will cause an audible vibration when the fan is used. You'll need to remove the filter and see if you access the debris- or drop the fan/motor unit from the bottom to remove it. Good luck!
