My right turntables fan make an extremely annoying buzzing sound. You know the sound, like it has something stuck in it.

What would be the best course of action to resolve this?

There is a product from computer stores called spray duster which can be used to clear fans. Its compressed air in a can.

I tried that and didnt work, its just the way the fan works i believe dedrick, i had the same issue and compressed air didnt help. Fortunately with loud music doesnt matter ;)

Stick something in the propeller of the fan. It should quiet it right up.

The fan has been like this since I got it months ago, so ya blowing it out with dust did nothing.

yea i think its just like that by design or could be the bearing the wears out quickly but just turn up the volume and it wont bother you haha.

Mine isnt noisy as such but it is more audible than what i would prefer, a low volume cancells it out tho :)
