Surface Pro 4 Fan Making A Grinding/Buzzing Noise

Question

Today my Surface Pro 4 has been vibrating and making this awful sound whenever I do some heavy work on it, the fan seems like it is grinding on the laptop as seen here.

My temporary fix is to tap the laptop which would temporary stop the buzzing, until it would come later again when i'm playing games or video editing. I have no idea how to fix this and any advice would be appreciated.

Here again is the link.

Sincerely,

Ali
