Nintendo Wii: Is there something wrong with my system?

Okay, well, maybe I just never noticed it before, but my Nintendo Wii is starting to buzz or hum louder than it did (while playing games) than when I first got it. Or at the very least it seems this way.

I just mean like a buzz (not the squeaks the system makes while its loading or reading a disc.) Is this because it got dusty or something?

Note: It still plays games 100% fine (both Wii and GCN games). I just disconnected it to dust it off and clean it. Do you think I should use a vacume and vacume the fan vents and where the discs go in?

has anyone else had a problem like this?

Oh yea, about the noise again, its not OVERLY loud, but it is noticeable even when the TV volume is up a bit.

Anyway, if it just needs to be cleaned or lightly tapped or whatever, let me know. Also know I don't mod my systems so I won't be opening it to clean it that way.

Thanks.

Update:

oh yeahm about the set-up. I've always had mine set-up in the horizontal position. (Flat), should I bust out the stand and play it vertical for awhile?

Update 2:

UPDATE: I dusted the Wii and vacumed (gently). I also shifted the poistion from horizontal to vertical (temporarily).

It is running much quieter now. (like it did at launch)
