A few things could have happened, the most likely culprit is a faulty fan. It's rare, but it does happen. If you recently bought it, just take it back to the store and tell them what happened, or call Nvidia (or whom ever manufactured the card, not the chipset) and see about the warranty and/or if there's any recall on that particular card.
Another thing that could have happened is you may have pressed down on the fan during the installation process which could have other wise loosened or broke one of the ball bearings in the fan, or cracked a blade.
In a more rare case, the card could have been overloaded via power. This can happen a few ways; first being your powersupply isn't powerful enough to handle the card (assuming that the card requires an extra power source), the wire from your powersupply to the card could have had a short in it... you may not have plugged in the power cord (should it need it) to the graphics card. You could also have a faulty PCI-xPress port. and as Tadir said, something could have been pressing against it, but that wouldn't cause it to be extremely loud like that.
BUT, as I said, the more likely culprit is a faulty fan from the manufacturer.
