Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 10 - fan zip noise when it spins up, normal?

It's a familiar characteristic to my old MBP 13 Retina 2013, where its fan would make a little zip noise when it spins up.

 

After a week of setting the Legion up the way I wanted it to be, I started hearing the same thing but it's every time the fans would spin up it would make the zip noise. Prior to this it wouldn't make any sound cue of the fans turning on, other than the subtle woosh of air.

 

It's only been on my desk in a dust-free surrounding and have taken care of it, but I'm pretty sure fans should last way longer than this. I have warranty 

 

I don't know what the fan brands are, so I can't correlate if it is brand-specific... I've read that AVC, Delta and FCN are the brands Lenovo uses.

 

The performance is pretty good for me even in Power Saving mode, I don't do competitive games and I'd hate to actually rethink my choice, again. It feels like a good laptop, but I question the reliability of the fans for something intended to game.

 

Anyone else with similar models with that kind of thing going?

Not in use: HP Elitebook 8470P, ThinkPad X131e, ThinkPad T61, Dell Precision M4800 (dead), HP Zbook 15 G2, Dell Precision 7540 (Delta fans equipped and dead)
