Mac mini M1 2020 clicking noise

Hi, I got my mini last December and heard the clicking noise back then but I ignored it thinking it would probably go away. Well it is still clicking, sometimes not as loud as others. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem and if anything can be done about it.
Thanks

Since the only mechanical component is the fan that would be my suspicion. Take it to the Apple store if possible or ship it to them. Clicking might not mean it's going to fail but I wouldn't take that risk

Thanks Russell, good advice. The more I use this new mini the more I miss my old MacPro.
