Rattle coming from 8800GTS

Haven't had this card long, it was purchased from OCUK as part of a full build. It's the OCUK Value 8800GTS (actually a Zotac). No problems so far, but a small rattle seems to be coming from the fan.

Is this normal for nvidia cards? Would there be any way of lubricating the fan safely?

The noise is like a constant 'tick' similar to what a hard drive accessing sounds like, but it's slightly quieter but is constant. I have double checked and there are no wires or anything else touching the fan whilst it's in operation.
