Drifting
The bearings in the fan motor are most likely going bad. The motor is easy to replace and not too expensive. Some people have had luck just using some oil on the bearings but eventually it will need to be replaced.

Burning Brakes
Agree with BigGun. Had the same noise issue. I was able to save myself some on the motor by oiling and packing the bearing with synthetic bearing grease through the small top hole on the motor bearing casing. I did the repair about 2-3 months ago and it's been quiet since.

Regardless, the job is pretty easy but beware, it's back-breaking
