What can possibly be making this noise?

Maybe the right fan needs to spin faster due to higher heat the component it protects radiates? Have you controlled the fans' speeds via SMCFanControl or similar applications yet?
 
Yes the right fan I revved it up all the way to 5000 RPM to show the effects of the buzzing noise made by the fan.
 
Hard to say, easiest would be to pop the bottom case off and look at the fans but you'd need a pentalobe screwdriver.

I thought so too, but is there any alternatives?

There are always alternatives. Here's a few:

1. Sell it and buy a new one.
2. Live with it until the fan eventually dies. Then get it replaced.
3. Sell it and buy a used one.
4. Sell it and buy a refurbished one.
5. Try to repair the fan yourself.

Although, I'm not sure why you're asking for alternatives if it's only 6 months old. You can get it fixed for free if it bothers you, since it's still under warranty.

Haha I see that your trying to be smart here but I was wondering if there was any troubleshooting that I could go through. ;)
 
Take the computer the shop and have the fans replaced. Same noise on mine; fans now replaced and no longer have this issue.
