I turned on my computer this morning and it's 10x louder than it was yesterday! And it keeps on making really weird sounds, I don't know what's wrong with it! I think it might be one of the fans but I don't know how to fix that! Should I just order some new fans?

Your fan bearings could be going bad. Or there could be poor ventilation so the fans are cranked all the way on high. You need to make sure the PC has proper ventilation. if that doesn't fix it then order some new fans

My computer is in a very open case so I know it's not because they're struggling for air, I think I just need some new ones, they looked pretty cheap to begin with

You could always open it up and unplug fans 1 by 1 to check to see if they, and if so which one, are the problem. And by weird noises, do you mean like a loud whirling noise, or a clicking noise or what?

Well it's not a clicking noise but I've found that the fans are just very loud during boot up. Not like they're spinning super fast but when they get "warmed up" the loudness of them goes back down to normal.
