Yes and No Jenik!

Poking a stick in your power supply to stop momentarily wont cause any
major harm to the system althought the fan bearings (if any) will go
out of alignment... thats no good at all too but it will help u in
determining the loud sound problem where is coming from.

Hence, bearings are what make the most noise in power supply when the
fan is spinning... and the more noise they make, chances are something
will start to overheat inside your unit... such as hard drive or any
component... there on.

Good idea and a good tip also... at least once a month u should give
your system a PM and clean all the fans and cracks for proper
ventilation... it really does help.
