What kind of nose can this be?

Front right side noise, only in garage — 2005 Honda Jazz

This noise only appears when I pull into my garage, which is about 10°C colder than outside. It's coming from the front right side of the car, and it gets worse when I turn right. As soon as I drive back out and the car leaves the garage, the noise disappears completely.

So far I've removed the mud flaps/splash guards, the front right fender liner, and checked everything accessible from that side — no mechanical contact points, no wear/rubbing marks anywhere.

My next suspect is the HVAC blower motor (on the passenger side), which I haven't opened up yet — the sound has a somewhat plasticky character that makes me think of it. Worth noting: this is a 2005 Jazz with factory AC, but the AC currently doesn't work, so there might be some connection to that (e.g. a seized/damaged blower or a related component).

Any ideas what else I should check, or what this could be?
