You're close, but not quite. The 9000's used a cabin thermometer that had a fan in it. After some time, this fan got noisy.
The 9-5's don't use a fan anymore. The thermometer is on the overhead console by the built-in microphone. It has a little rod sticking down, surrounded by some small holes.
The ticking noises you are hearing are the motors for the temperature mixing flaps. In moderate weather, they are constantly making tiny adjustments to the temperature of the air coming out of the vents. Normally, you won't hear this in the summer, or middle of the winter because the flaps are either fully cold, or fully hot.
From what I've read, there's nothing wrong with the noise, it's just a "feature" to deal with.
