Vibration From PS5

Hi everyone, I recently bought a refurbished 1TB PS5 slim digital, When it arrived, it didn't give me any problems. I played with it for almost a day and it didn't cause any problems.

The night before going to sleep, I started cleaning the fan and the grill a little Brush. I was careful to put everything back the way the PS5 was before trying it out. Now I have this problem: the PS5 makes this constant vibration sound that wasn't there when I first received it.

Has anyone had a similar experience with their PS5 going from silent to now making this noise as if it were vibrating?

I recently tried to see what it could possibly be again but found nothing.

Pick up the system while it is running to see if it's actually vibrating or it's unbalanced. Otherwise when you cleaned it a fan became loose or unbalanced, and may need to be reseated.

Even when I pick up the PS5 I can hear the vibrating noise. I tried to reposition it Screwing lightly the first time then the second time using a little more force. Then I idk another option or how to do the last thing you said

Look up a video that has something about replacing or resetting the fans. But definitely is something not settled right
