Hi guys, I recently started hearing this noise coming from I think the driver's side fan (if you're sitting in the car). It only happens when the fan turns on as you can see in the video. Anybody know why it's making this noise?


Thanks for any help

I believe the fan making the noise is the AC condenser fan which comes on when my AC is off as well as on.

Has anybody heard this noise before? I'm not sure if I should get a whole new AC condenser fan with the shroud or what.

BUMP

Will replacing the AC condenser fan fix this noise? I'm thinking it's some sort of bearing in the fan motor?

Mines making the same noise but nothing is touching the fins! Did you ever figure out what it was?

my integra has been making a similar noise on start up. I thought it was the fan motor and swapped it out with a spare S2000 motor that I had on hand, the noise persisted. It turns out the fan shroud is slightly bent out of shape, I think if it bends towards the radiator it can make noise, and bending or pulling it backwards towards the engine can eliminate the noise. Sometimes the shroud can be pushed in or bent by accidentally hitting it or putting pressure on it. If you can duplicate the noise bend the shroud while the fan is running until the noise goes away using a flathead screwdriver or similar tool.
