Grinding sound from 500D SE RGB's middle LL120 fan

Hey everyone, the case is new and the middle fan sometimes has audible clicking/grinding sound which suppresses the other fans. This is when fans at 800RPM, however the sound is still there with 640RPM. When I increase the fan speed to 1000RPM, sound disappears. I set all other fans to 0RPM until I find the source and below video captured while other fans not working. Keep in mind this happens once or maybe twice daily and sometimes never occurs. It's totally random.

 

Here are some videos:

[ame=https://youtu.be/FuZntWOaHaQ]1000RPM [/ame](Sorry for the wind)

 

I don't want to refund the case as I dealt with the cable management a lot and couldn't find any distributor in my country anyway. Do you think is it faulty?
