Maybe the bearings on the fan are going out. (maybe they're just dry) it would probably be best to get a direct replacement unless you are confident enough to replace the fan yourself

As for working with it while it's making noise. You might want to get ntune or something and watch the temperatures to make sure it's not having any affect on the cooling. as long as the noise doesn't bother you it might be alright for a few days. I would still recommend replacing it though.
