WD40?

Look like your fan ball bearing worn out, and so noise is getting louder.
Best to replace the fan than trying to oil it.

wd40 really? i read alot of stuff online about wd40 not being a good lubricant oil for such situation.

Nah, don't waste ur money. Take out fan and use a paintbrush. if still got loud noise etc after clearing dust, it means fan likely dying already.

Sounds like sleeve bearing needs some lube. Very common issue with sleeve bearing fans.
