Not at all
It's the standard probe you have on 99% of fans - it's the little device that detects fan rotation. When the fan is spinning, it emits a pulse wave (maybe thats what you heard), each pulse is in sync with 1 blade (more precisely, rotor coil) passing by the probe. i.e. 1 pulse=1 spin...
You can hook the wire to Maxim chip, put the fan alim on the chip as well, and the chip will control the fan speed with great precision (yes you can slow it down...) - the chip i was referencing to is a multiple-fan control. Found it while browsing Maxim's catalog.
