The fan in my AMD heatsink is starting to drive me crazy, i've had it for just under a month.
When I start up my PC it sounds like an engine revving, and it speeds up and slows down. I took the case apart to check it out, and theres no dust or any wires or other parts that could be touching the fan to create the noise.
Hmm?

Same here... I grabbed a coolermaster (up to 3200) for just over a fiver, and its whisper quiet... just a hame the CD-rewriter makes so much feckking noise! :)

Get a better heatsink/fan unit?
If the noise is driving you crazy you have 2 options.
A thermalright heatsink
Watercooling

They are just noisy.
If it bothers you that much replace it. The stock heatsinks are not particularly great anyway.
