I have a 99 Boxster with the same amount of miles and this happened to me last month. The more I increased the fan speed, the louder the noise got.
I thought I was in for a $500 fan motor, but it turns out that there is insulation near the fan that falls down over time. I took it to my local repair shop and they fixed it for less than $100. If you are mechanically inclined (I am not), you could fix this yourself.

I hope you are as lucky as I was.
