There are those honeycomb fan grill which creates a bunch of wind noise. Most likely from turbulence.
I notice if you move the fan just a few mm away from the grill, the noise is gone.

So I use a longer screw and place some nuts as spacers to create a gap between the grill and the fan.

Now there's no wind noise!
I have the honeycomb fan grill at the front.
