Is it any different if the heater is set to hot or cold? Is it any different if you have it set to direct air to the windscreen, centre vents or foot warmers? What's the coolant level like in the expansion bottle? How old's the car? Does it have aircon?
I would have said it was the pollen filter, but since you say you've already changed that you need to start investigate further.
