Hard drives do not like shock loads and may fail.
You may loosen a connector.
You might loosen a RAM module.
You might crack or short out the motherboard when it flexes.
People who witness you doing this will think you are a little unstable,
Maybe you should go to liquid cooling system to get rid of the fan noises (CPU, video card, etc.)

First of all... kicking the computer while running is not too good Idea, what will suffer first is your hard drive which is not a portable one and is not ready for shocks of any type, second the fans are really cheap and easy to change and even they are easy to fix... if is not burnt (not working at all).
All you need is a tube of Crazy Glue, a couple of screw drivers and a can of oil (preferably 3 in one or some of the oil that you use for your car).
1-Take the fan out (with the computer off)
2-Lift the sticker in the back of the fan,don't take all out just a little corner until you see the center.
3-Pour a drop of oil in the axo that is in the center and spin the fan with your fingers to make the oil go inside the spinning axo (be sure not to get oil were the sticker goes)
4-Glue the sticker back in place to seal the oil under it, that will protect it from dust.
5-Enjoy the silence again.
While you have your computer open, take your time to blow all the dust that is inside of it, specially over the heat-sinks of the processor and Video Card if any and the memory chips. You can use a can of compressed air, the vacuum on reverse or a paint brush (the brush use it with extreme care).
Dust and computers don't get along.
I hope this will help you to stop kicking your computer :)

If you kick your computer you are likely to break it. Not recommended, and kicking it will have not change the speed of the CPU.
If the fans only get loud "sometimes" and you are fine with them most of the time, and when you bang on them the sound goes away you should have the fan replaced. Basically as they get old and wear down they can wobble and the touch the side and start to make noise. When you bump the computer the fan will be moved around and might stop making the sound for a while, but it will just get worse, and you can break other things (expensive things) in your computer.

The fans are there to protect your system. If a fan is stuck and kicking it unfreezes it, you should replace the fan. If it's loud, there may be a bios flash that you can apply. Dont kick it, you might damage other parts of your computer esp the hard drive. Other than that, if your comp is slow, its usually spyware/malware/ redflag software. (AOell, limewire, banzaibuddy, incredimail, webshots, hotbar, smileys, free screensavers, bearshare, etc.
