X51 brief pause/buzz issue

I've had this x51 (the new model, 660/i7-3770k, BR/DVD drive) for about three months now and I love it but there has been one issue that has always been there from the day I received the machine.  Every once in a while, I get a brief pause in gameplay (that's all I use this machine for, so maybe it would happen elsewhere) along with a weird buzzing sound for a second.  This video sums it up nicely:

Fast forward to about the 1:25 mark and that is what it sounds like.  He fixed it by moving a part, but obviously I don't have that luxury in this small case.  Is this something that happened to anyone else and how did you fix it?   I have not taken this machine apart yet.  I would rather not, but if there's only one fix and it involves doing that I can.  I would just like to know before I start tearing it apart that doing so would be useful.
