Cpu heatsink fan sound

I just noticed my arctic cooling freezer 7 pro is making sounds, usually about half an hour to an hour after startup, though it seems to come and go. The sound itself makes me think of two sheets of sheet metal rubbing against each other, not as harsh as a grinding hard drive and I probably wouldn't have noticed with my headphones on. Nothing seems to be obstructing the fan blades, and the fan itself seems to be in good working order (i tried spinning the fan with the power off and i didn't notice anything amiss). It's only been about a year since I got it, so I'd be surprised if I already had to replace it. Thoughts?
