Re: Laptop Making Weird Noises

Does the sound start from power ON? Try removing the HDD and observe if you hear the same sound after some time. Use a new/working HDD for testing can help also.

If you think it comes from the fan side, then it could be the fan or the bearing. Clean the vents/heatsink and fan and see if it helps. If not then consider getting a new heatsink/fan assembly.
