Xbox 360 Elite developed a buzzing noise

Hi,

I bought a Xbox 360 Elite back in November and have installed all my games on the hard drive, everything has been running perfectly until yesturday.

I turned my 360 on and was greated with a fairly loud buzzing/humming that can be heard over the usual whir of the console.

The noise is coming from the front right but does not effect the games as they all play, it sounds like a motor or something because as I turn it off it sounds like a rotor noise slowing down.

The strange thing was I unplugged the console yesturday and took the faceplate off whilst making sure all the connections were ok then put it back on and the sound dissapeared but on turn on this morning the noise was back.

I got the console In HMV and its the 2nd one I've had from them as the first had a whistling power supply and RROD.

What should I do, dont really want a refurb am I entitled to a replacement in the shop as last time was a nightmare I was in there 2hrs while they tested it upstairs for a 2day old console!!!.

Thanks guys
