Default Loud hum from heater

When I first bought this xj last year, the heater worked fine, however only on high. I assumed I need the resistor for it. Just recently I noticed it was very loud, creating almost a bass sound from the dash. The other day, it increased in noise, and is now louder than the engine, or anything. I can feel a vibration in the dash and steering wheel.

would this still be the blower motor? I looked at other posts but nobody described this sound, more of a rattling, or clicking. Mine doesn't do that. Just a deep loud hum.

Thanks for any tips!

Probably the blower motor. Many times a bad blower motor (drawing too much amperage) will take out the resistor.
