Radiator fan noise? After ignition-off

After 15-20 mins driving, I noticed there was a loud and irregular fan noise coming out from the grill.
Normally, I only had a wooo- kind of low frequency sound (normal cooling fan noise) but now I'm having this whirring sound with it.
Does anyone know if I will have to bring it to a shop and get some inspection?

I usually hear the fan while walking away from my X6M but it's pretty quiet and low key, like most vehicles.

Haven't experienced any unusually loud noise produced by the fan.

My car has about 600 miles on it at the moment. Not sure where you are as far as usage/ wear and tear.

I hear something unusual ... It sounds like there’s something stuck on it, may be a leaf or some other debri? Take a look-see or just take it to the shop for a quick overview.

I showed the video to my dealership advisor and he said he was able to hear it out. They will take a look into it. I will post an update once it gets back to me!

Dealer told me that he wasn't able to duplicate the noise. And techs only heard the normal noise out of it and they won't proceed anything even though there is a recorded video..
