2003 Explorer A/C ?'s

Just bought an 03' a few weeks ago and I've noticed that the blower on high is louder than a 747 on takeoff and no matter where I have the fan directed to (dash, defrost, etc) it seeps out of the foot vents. I want to cool my body, not my feet!

Is this normal on the new Exlorer's?
Other than this minor issue I have really enjoyed it.

I've never put my blower on anything above the 2nd fan setting, so I'm not sure how loud mine is. I have not noticed any air leaking out the lower vents either. Maybe at the high setting the normal vents can't handle all of the flow, so some of it seeps out the feet vents. Does it do this with the fan on a lower setting?

BTW, I have an '02, not an '03

It does it at all but the lowest speed.
Thanks for your input, time to see the dealer.
