A design flaw or not, the H50 shouldn't make that noise. I've just RMA'd my H50 with exactly the same problem. It's a noise I chose to live with, but recently it's become more and more apparent and distracting, hence the RMA.
its the bearing! stop sayin its a flaw when the bearing break in after some time they get a little noisey its nothin to worry about its just like on a skateboard wheel once they where a little metal away and find that groove they make a little noise
wow man that's shit!mine has nearly no noise @ all! I can hear my fans a good bit but my h50 makes a little sort of coffee percolator sound every other hour or so but its hardly noticeable& I actually like it as it reminds me that its still working OK!
@cocatoo555 I think its normal for the pump to make some noise. My mate has one and his is barely audible. Returned it anyway, hopefully the next one wont be like that.
@iceman27406 since the video I've been through 3 H50's! Each returned with the same issue. It's crazy but I dunno, maybe I was just really unlucky or the retailer I bought from had a bad batch or something.
I replaced it with a similar unit by Coolit called Coolit ECO ALC. It's pretty much exactly the same but with literally no pump noise (and was probably easier to install).
you try flipping it pump side down and turning it on if it stops then your lacking fuild.

I had some noise at the beginning, but when I turned my case on the side and shake it little bit then I think the air went to radiator, so try it

I think that's normal, my Corsair H50's pump also makes a buzzing noise, but not as loud as yours...

@HammerHead940 its a design flaw it has a tendency to create air pockets in the loop.
