Question Corsair TX750M making woodpecker noise

I've had this PSU in a brand new self built rig for about 2-3 months now.

Daily use, no part of the system overclocked, pretty much everything running straight out the box.

Recently (past 3 weeks or so) it's started making a chattering noise like a woodpecker bashing a tree every so often. Seems to be unrelated to any specific actions as it happens while idle or under load.

I've tried mounting it in the case fan up and fan down and it doesn't seem to make any difference.

I found a video (not my own) that has the exact sound it's making too:

I've checked and the fan doesnt seem to be hitting any cables or the fan guard (which would probably cause a more consistent rattle)

Any help would be appreciated

Stop the fan. If the noise stops, you know it's the fan.
