If it started right after using the blower, I’d stop using it for now. A PC blower can be strong enough to shift something slightly inside the hinge or chassis.
Try opening and closing it slowly and listen for exactly where the crack is coming from. Also check that the bottom case screws are tight and the case isn’t lifting anywhere. If the sound happens even when you just press the palm rest or bottom case, I’d get it checked rather than keep using the blower.

Im thinking of opening up the bottom case and cleaning it out to see if that fixes the issue
@shayanashayeri I’d be careful opening it just to clean more. Since the noise started after the blower, I’d inspect the hinge and bottom case for anything loose first rather than blowing more air inside.
