when the fan makes an unusual sound when you power it on, but it works fine after adjusting it manually, try checking the fan's connections and ensure it's properly seated. If the issue persists, inspect the motor or wiring for any damage.

I can't record audio or upload videos directly. However, you can capture the noise using your device's microphone and then share the recording on YouTube or another platform. If you need help finding a suitable tool or instructions, let me know!

It might sound like a cable moving against the panel, originating from the back where the fan is placed. The fan bearing could also be failing. Removing the panel lowers internal pressure, which reduces friction on the bearing.

Typically, the fan bearing is the main component. Cheap fans often use sleeve bearings, which are the most common choice. Manufacturers favor this option since it’s inexpensive and many PC builders aren’t aware of the quality gap between sleeve and ball-bearing fans. For quieter operation, verify the specifications of any fan you’re considering—ensure it uses ball bearings rather than sleeve bearings. A big difference exists.
