Whirlpool Model Wmh53520cs Microwave Fan Noise

I purchased a Whirlpool Model WMH53520CS over the oven microwave. This microwave has four fan speeds. On high speed the fan noise seems to be normal but on the lower speeds it makes a very annoying and loud high pitch whining sound. This does not seem to be normal.
