The buzzsaw noise is the blade tip interface with the fan ring and the turbulent air coming into the nacelle. The A320 now offers a hardwall forward acoustic panel that lowers buzzsaw noise. Things like probes etc that stick out into the nacelle will cause fan tones as well because of the swirl put off by the probe. Fan blades like to see uniform no turbulent air or lots of different sounds pop up.
