I've read somewhere that for side fans specifically, the certain grill structure for that side fan can contribute to bad noises, in my case, a humming noise
For example, i have 2 side case fans. Both are intaking. They make loud humming noises.
If i take them out of their place, (out of the fan grill, unscrew the fans from the case, ect.), they still make a slight humming noise though no where NEAR the level they hum when they act as a side intake.
I also notice that they make no humming noses whatsoever when either or both of the side fans act as exhaust (instead of the humming intake fans)
Given the above context, will replacing my side fan intakes with other side fan intakes eliminate the humming noise? Or are side case fans destined to hum?
What contributes to the fact that case fans are more likely to make a humming noise if acted as a side fan intake vs. side fan exhaust? (because, as i note, the side fans make no noise at all as an exhaust but make extremely humming noises as an intake fan).
