Try dampening the frond door with blue tack

 

Maybe a cable caught in the fan?

Hello everyone!

 

A quick question summed up in the title.

 

My PC has an incredibly annoying 'buzz' coming from the front panel area. 

 

I've checked my fan, HDDs etc and it's not from any of those, from what I can tell it seems to be the small door on the Phantom that covers the 5 1/4 inch bays.

 

Any suggestions on how to solve this issue, have any of you encountered this?

 

Thanks in advance.

Bluetac was not the answer and nor was the fan. The adhesive that holds a magnet in place, to keep the door closed, had fallen off when I opened the door. General case vibration was being passed to the plastic door by this magnet. : )
