It seems like the noise is from the front passenger side. I thought it might be the fan. I discounted that possibility, but did not rule it out completely, because the noise stops when I turn off the A/C. I would think that the fan would still make the noise all the time it blowing

The passengerr fan come on with the air conditioner, go under your dash on the driver side and pull out the passenger side fan relay and see if it still make a noise with the air on.

Mikes boxster page has the diagram for the relay

Johnny; ha, ha!

When whining comes from the passenger side of his Porsche, my hubby stops it by applying jewelry. When applied liberally, the whining is reduced for a long period of time, but if applied sparingly, the whining tends to come back fairly quickly.

I too have the same whining too, but I have to add Milk bones for the auxiliary whining
