It's probably a bit late but thought I'd answer just in case anyone else has the same problem and needs a fix.

It's due to the "plastic fan" that pushes the air out through the vent warping, after a while and a fair bit of use the base of it warps and causes it to wobble and vibrate making a tremendous amount of noise after a while.

It's easy to replace and the part costs under £15 at the time of writing, you can get one here...

Be aware that if you don't fix it fairly soon after the problem develops it can cause other damage such as hitting and eventually snapping a plastic clip located next to it which holds an electrical component in place, this could potentially be very dangerous.

Hope this helps someone!
