My computer makes the usual running noise from the fans. However, after some time (usually a couple of hours) the noise significantly increases.
I have been told that this is because it is heating up (no reason given) and the fan(s) has/have to work harder - thus increasing the noise level.
Is this correct? Are there any other reasons for the increase in running noise level?

increased fan noise equates to higher RPMs which is due to increased heat.
so it's either increased work load on the components with fans (chassis, CPU, GPU, PSU) causing the extra heat or dust build within the PC.
what's the airflow like around the unit?
when the fan noise increases, what process are you running - games, streaming, defrag...?

I'd determone which fans are noisy and replace them...
