    you can try some spray cleaner or some air in a can. available usually at radio shack and even some wal marts also know as keyboard cleaner.. make sur if its the liquid kind to let it fully dry before using it though

    I tried this and its still very noisy... I think its even noisier... It sounds like a buzz. What else can i do?? can i take off the fan and disassemble it?

    could be the fan itself going bad...i would open it up and see if it freely spins with your finger but be gentle.. if it feels like there is any drag it could be the bearing in the fan
