Sounds like fan bearing has a problem, dry or worn out. Change it.

My pc is 1 year old do you think it worn out that fast?

Doesn't matter how old it is. It's a very simple device with one bearing the only thing that can wear out, leak or get dry. It's not unknown to come new like that or even DOA:

Can lube the bearing helps?
because behind the manufacturer sticker on fan i can see bearing and lube it without screwing the fan out of case

It may help for a while but not in long run.

You cannot actually get to the fan bearings in a modern fan, so you cannot lube it. What you see may be the end of the shaft under the label, but it is not the bearings.

What you describe is exactly what worn bearings on a fan do. Even if you could add lube, that would be only a temporary help. Replace the fan - it's much easier. BEFORE you do, try to identify which fan. Open the case and get a pencil. With the system cold (so it's noisy) but running, reach in carefully and use the pencil eraser to slow down and stop each fan, one at a time, then release it. You will find the bad fan that way. IF it is the fan on your CPU cooler, you need a replacement designed for "high pressure" in that position. If it is a case eventilation fan, you do not need "high pressure"; instead you need one designed for good "Air Flow".
