noisy airflow bathroom fan

[helptavner]

hiya all, moved in to house and has a new style airflow bathroom fan that opens its front after say 30 seconds, not so much during the process but often starts up rather noisy, ive had the front off and sprayed with 3 in 1 etc but hasnt improved it really, ive tried to pack tissue around it thinking it might be just vibrating before it gets going.

i think it might be the blades hitting the inside only very minor, but im not convinced as i say seems worse on start up, then will happily work for 20 mins nice and quiet any ideas please, before i loose the will lol

just rang the company up, they want me to post it back to them (free post) and they can test it in there lab, i guess i cant say any fairer than that but hardly worth it,

must check all is screwed up correctly inside motor etc

he doesnt know why it could be doing it....
