My Laptop Is Making Funny Noises

There are 4 causes to a laptop making noises;

1. The hard drive as it is a mechanical object and is constantly spinning like a CD and could be failing.  You need to run a backup immediately or turn it off and seek specialist help before you lose all your important data.
2. Processor fans work depending on the temperature of the laptop.  Over time, dust build up can cause a loud fan noise, just like fins on a cooling fan you might have on your desk.  Just a simple clean should do the trick.  Sometimes, the processor fan with age will become noisier, just like a car engine and does not always need replacing.
3. The system board could be failing as some on-board chips can squeak or hiss as they start to fail.
4. Otherwise, it is down to audio.  Your speakers could be damage due to high volume use or feedback through a microphone or you might be hearing audio without realising i.e. multiple websites open, some play music/adverts at the same time which come out as gobbledegook.
