This is definitely the fan motor bearings. I had one go just like that last year. The motor gets stuck in a resonance mode before it gets up to full speed, hence the noise and poor cooling performance. A well judged shock can help the motor to drive through the resonance zone and get to full speed but things will only get worse over time.
