The next thing I'd try would be to just grab the two sides of the fan housing 
and shake them to see if there is any looseness between the fan housing and the 
engine case. There should be NO play there, but it's rather common for this to 
come loose. The screws that hold them together then get in the way and rattle. 
It's important to fix this before they ruin the fan.
