laptop fan making loud noises

[computer_says_no]

i recently received a laptop as a birthday present a while back in october, it was working fine up until  the start of november. it started off by making small vibrating hums but now its more of a whirring noise, its very annoying and it stops me from going on my laptop now. does any one have any ideas?

Some laptops have noisily fans. You can go into the Dell support site to see if there is a specific problem with your model.
It would be unlikely lthat moving a laptop would do it harem...
unless it was dropped.
Find you model number and service tag and go to
www.dell.com/support

It could be an airflow problem and overheating problem with the fan speeding up to cool the machine.

Someone recently posted they used 4 coins under each corner and that quieted down the fans.

There are also some laptop cradles that raise the rear of the laptop for improved air flow and easier typing.
