I'd replace the fan, in this case with something less noisy. There is
no shortage of fans from which to choose.
In my case, I went with fans that can move the most air, because the
systems are in a separate room. Heat and dirt are the two enemies of
electronic equipment.
I also use http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html and a
script to shutdown the systems if they overheat, as they are powered
up continuously.
