I had the same problem with my `02 Camry ...after removing and
cleaning the cabin air filter (without reinstalling ) I had the same
problem.

I stuck my hand into the fan housing and lo and behold ? it was
clogged with dog hair. (the fan impeller) This was enough to cause
loss of air to the vents and also to make an unusual noise.(Apart from
the usual fan noise)

After removal of the detritus , I tried the fan without the filter and
it was just fine .Then I re-installed the cabin filter and all was
well.

My suggestion ? Check the fan impeller/housing for any detritus that
the fiter nerver caught.this MAY be causing your problem.

Hope this helps /
