A heater matrix making a noise strange, the only moving part is in the heater box and thats the fan which can make a sound if the motor bearing is worn but only if switched on..

It would be for me very irritating, I had it with old RRC (same heater) and use to oil the bearing at the opposite end of the motor and that lasted for a few months.

I had a noise in a 2001 Discovery II I had. It turned out to be a piece of foam that got sucked into the blower motor cage from the air intake along the rear edge of the hood. Maybe your problem is just as simple to fix. I only noticed the "squeak" in really cold weather when the fan was on higher speeds.
