In-line fan noise. Is this normal?

I have a Panasonic Whisper 6'' 240cfm. When I set the fan up the first time, the noise from the fan would speed up and slow down randomly like the rpm of the fan was changing. This was slight but noticeable. After I left the fan there for a while, the sound became consistent and normal.

I just moved the fan a few feet and the changing noise is back. There is no other air moving in the room that would cause this. Im obviously hoping that it gets back to normal like it did before.

Is something wrong with this fan or is this normal? Why would it be doing this? Its always been moving plenty of air and doesnt seem broken other than this.

Does it sound like motor noise, or is it just the sound of air moving through the exhaust?

Do you have a carbon scrubber on it?

What is it hooked up to?
