I just noticed now that my stock black fans in my pre-installed in my PC's case are making a clicking noise at all times, both the front and rear fan, confirmed it being the fan by stopping the fan, it stopped when i stopped the fan. I also checked my CPU fans to check if they made the same noise, which it did not, all the fans are connected straight to the motherboard.

Is this normal? The clicking is pretty faint and can only be heard with the ear right up against the PC.

I have a define R4 and the stock fans were pretty solid even though I eventually replaced them with Noctua fans. Fractal Design makes very quality cases even their fans are solid so this definitely isn't normal! I'd contact them and see if they will send you some replacements if you purchased it recently.
