Help me diagnose noise behind dash

I've had a rattling noise coming from behind the dash in my '88 3.2 for some time now, and it's getting worse so about time I looked at fixing. I've included a video to demonstrate the noise - here's the rundown...

Car does not need to be running or moving
Noise starts as soon as key gets to 'ignition 2' position
Seems to be coming from directly behind HVAC control panel
Pushing on panel will slightly alleviate the intensity
When driving, cornering has an affect on intensity as well - sound lessens under hard cornering
I've removed the ashtray - no change

Does anyone know if there's a small fan/blower behind the panel that runs all the time that could be giving me trouble? Again, car does not need to be running, and noise happens with all HVAC controls off. Just looking for insight before I start tearing things apart.
