Had this laptop for a year and all of a sudden, it makes this sound similar to what happens when you put a slip of paper into a running fan. I already tried to open the cover and clean up the dust around the fan but to no avail. The weird thing is that this happened once before and it disappeared by itself. Is there anything else I can try or should I just get a replacement fan.
 
Solution
I once had this problem and it was due to a hair being caught in the fan. I would try to open it up again and get out a magnifying glass and make sure ANY hair is removed from the fan area.
