I replaced both fans AND put in new hard drives at one time; no RESTORE, used dd to make copies of the current drive, much less work. Then I put in a 2nd drive and used dd's to make a backup copy of the first drive.

Open the top, and wait for the noise to happen again. Unplug the fans when it does, I'd put the odds at AT LEAST 50/50 that that's the problem.
