what you can try to do is to lubricate the bearings in it.
-unscrew the fan from where it is mounted
-find the sticker that is on the center of the fan (usually has the brand name of the fan and some speed and or voltage info on it) carefully peel of that sticker.
-under that should be a little circular plug (made of a soft plastic usually) pop that out with a small flathead screwdriver.
-now your looking at the bearing of your fan (be careful not to let any dirt get in there) you will need to get some form of liquid lubricant, something with teflon in it will be great (comes in aerosol cans usually)
-take your lubricant and put a few drops in there, be careful not to use too much these are small bearings so they dont need much.
-now simply replace the plug and the sticker and your fan should be sounding better, and hopefully last a bit longer now.
