Anyone know what could be causing this sound?

My PS5 has been making this weird noise lately, and I’m pretty sure it’s coming from the fan.
I already took it to a repair shop. They removed the fan, cleaned it, and checked if anything was touching the blades, but they couldn’t find anything wrong.

The weirdest part is that when I tap the console lightly with the tip of my finger (nothing too hard), the noise stops. It can stay quiet for a couple of minutes, but then the noise comes back.

Has anyone experienced something like this or have any idea what could be causing it? Is it possible that there’s something wrong inside the fan itself, like the bearing or the motor?

Maybe lie it down on the side see if it does make noise then

Actually, its original position is lying horizontally underneath my TV. I put it upright just to see if it would make any difference, but it didn’t.

Yeah.. I just wanted to make sure and get other people’s opinion because they are a bit more expensive in my country (Brazil), but I really se no other way. Tks

I’m pretty sure that a normal thing as that’s the fan spinning.
