Sounds to me like some of the bearings in the fan might be unhappy for some reason or another. See if you can figure which fan is making the noise, then wait till it shuts off and get in there to double check it's not all gooed up with some dirt or something. It might be just really dirty.

It won't be really easy as the fan motor is probably tightly encased. Just check the casing at the center of the fan blades for any obvious signs of grime. Clean it if you can. I don't think you'd be able to take it apart to do a deeper clean, although I'm not absolutely sure as I don't have direct experience with doing such a thing.
