You nailed it. When I turn on the recirc (light is on), the noise doesn't happen. Seems that when recirc is off, there is a damper door that gets adjusted when speed goes over 20mph. If its just the Chihuahua and nothing breaking down, then I'm cool with it. Thanks!

The recirc motor can be active when topped and when you drive off again at some temps.

I know of several 99-04 P2's with damper motors that have the Chihuahua scratching at the door noise that have no issues other than the noise.
