Loud noise from Zalman 7000B-AlCu

My zalman heatsink fan is make a very loud noise. Is that normal? If not is there a way to stop making that annoying like a bug fly by your ears kinda noise?

Thanks

Sounds like it's vibrating, make sure it's completely secured down. My friend has the same fan and I have a 7700Cu and neither of ours vibrates.

I have that Zalman too, but it's very quiet, even at full fan speed.

hmm... I tighten up the screws but still that bug annoying noise... what's next?

guess just make its securely screwed down not super tight but just secure. maybe a wire is hitting the fan other than that may have to rma.
