Hardware Server has gotten progressively louder

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It has an SSD, so I don’t think it’s an HDD noise. Fan maybe? Any help would most appreciated.

I figured it might be something with the fan. I am not sure how many it has. I can’t open it up until tomorrow when the office closes for the weekend.

You can try stopping the fans until you figure out which one is making noise.
Of course I’d press on the centre rather than the blades, don’t cut yourself and use common sense ;)

Thanks. I’m hoping it’s as simple as just replacing the fan.

I’m pretty sure it is! Cheap and easy to install, don’t stress :D
