I remember reading about this problem before on '06/'07 Monte Carlos. IIRC it has to do with the actuator for the blend door. Replacing the actuator solves the problem.

I should have kept my mouth shut, it started ticking today in my car....... It did go away with some switching AC on/off and messing with the controls, but it looks like I will need mine fixed soon......
