Acer Aspire V3-551G Fan Noise

I have had an Acer Aspire for 10 months and recently my fan has been making a strange noise like something is hitting it. I have to tap the bottom a bit to make the noise go away and it worked, so I decided to put my laptops power plan to power saver and it seems to be working. If I tip my laptop to the side the noise starts up again, not sure if its blockage in the fan or something is hitting it. Is there a way to adjust my fan speed so I can test to see whats wrong?

    Juno, it soundds like your fan has come loose. It shouldn' cost too much to have a reapir shop tighten it or replace it.

    thanks for your reply. I think that might be the problem because I havent had problems with overheating.
