Lawn mower or an electric saw noise??
Here's a quick fix for annoying laptop fan noises.
Now of course, cleaning the fans from time to time will help as well but that requires opening your laptop.
For most people this does the trick but for very dusty fans you would have to get them cleaned out at some point.

I noticed nobody is talking about this and I know this is a 3yo video but I found out that, at least for me, there is no option for “system cooling policy”. I only have Minimum processor state and Maximum processor state and nothing in between. Do you know what could be wrong? Thanks.

İ cant explain how gratefull i am. The plane inside of my pc is finally landed. Thank you very much.

Oh man. I'm an experienced IT repair technician and I've done everything from redoing the thermal paste, blowing out the fans, adding cooling pads, adding extra rubber pieces on the corners to increase airflow underneath, and adding extra exhaust intake/exhaust ports in a desperate attempt to finally get my Dell Inspiron to shut up to no avail. I've known where those settings are for many, many years and never thought to adjust them. Watched your 3 minute video followed by some mouse clicks and I can hear everything BUT my personal laptop. I vote your solution as "Solution of the Year". Thank you for this. I can now sleep peacefully again. Not today, Windows and Dell. Not today.

My girlfriend left me after complaining about the" helicopter loud sounds" coming from my laptop computer and not being able to sleep. I wish i came across this video 6 months ago.You will save many others by putting this out.

My problem was the dust build up, my laptop is working fine now that i cleaned the fan thanks anyway for the work you put into making this video and helping others that deserves a like.

Amazing. Immediate relief. My Acer Nitro 5 sounded like a leaf blower with only the browser open. Thanks for this easy fix!

My laptop used to sound like a generator, granted it's old as hell but you did it man 🤯👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks, definitive improvement right away. Rare to find one of these tech vids as clear and helpful.

Here was the solution to my HP x360 fan noise issue. Everyone is talking about the fan speeds, but the fan should be virtually silent during use. You shouldn't even know that it's on at low speed.
Follow me here... You laptop chassis has flex. It's built to have a certain amount of flex. It's designed into the unit. The fan is inside of an enclosure. Sure, it might be dirty... but, more than likely, the metal plates and case of the fan enclosure is slightly bent, causing the fan blades to contact the enclosure. First, clean it out thoroughly. Take the fan enclosure apart. Careful not to lose the little screws. Take the fan blades out and clean them...REALLY clean them, with a clean, dry toothbrush, or something of the sort. Clean out ALL AREAS around the fan location. We're cleaning for two reasons. To make sure that no dirt or dust get into the fan, AND to make sure that no buildup is pushing against the fan enclosure in any way. Put the flat enclosure pieces on a flat glass table, and look to see if it's completely flat. Reassemble the fan and the enclosure, and plug it into the motherboard. Move the fan around and in different directions. See if you can detect the noise any longer. The fan should be running, but completely silent. No matter what the speed is. If you still hear the fan, that means that you're going to have to go back into the enclosure and do some bending and adjusting of the enclosure. Run the fan without the enclosure cover to see if it makes any noise. If it's silent, then the contact of the fan blades is probably occurring with the cover. Press it out gently with your fingers, and visibly inspect where it might be rubbing. Observe the fan's ability to spin freely throughout the process. Plug it into the motherboard before reassembling, and turn the computer on. Observe the fan and listen to the noise level. Once you've bent it to the right position, there should be no noise.
Now, you may want to remove any stickers and labels on the outside of the fan enclosure. The thickness of that sticker might be the difference between it being pressed out of shape again. This also might be a good time to reapply fresh thermal grease/paste to the cpu and heat sink. I removed several pieces of tape and some labels on the fan enclosure. Carefully route the wires and cables around the enclosure back into their correct places.
Reassemble, checking for noise at every step of the way.
My laptop is now still cycling and the fan comes on, but you just can't hear it, because of the rubbing issue. The bios and programming wasn't the problem. It was the enclosure being slightly bent.
Hope this helps, I'll post it here and elsewhere.

Definitely a huge reduction in the noise! You're a genius. How do you figure out such stuff?!

[ElderSteak]

I can’t explain how grateful I am, it used to make a literal engine sound. And I would hear like it was banging on something when spinning really fast. Thank you so much.

[ImNotSur]

Bro thank you so much, ever since this, I can have my laptop on plugged when I’m busy and I won’t have to repeatedly hear a loud fan, I’m so grateful and I’m so glad someone can help me fix my problem.

[nena]

Thank you so much for this video. I have an older Samsung all in one desk top, noticed it wasn’t quiet like before. I cleaned and blew the dust out. I researched and turned off all the apps running in the background that I don’t use..still a little loud. I finally found your video after a few hours. Kind sir, that worked!! God bless you for taking the time to make this video and explain it so well! 💕

[iloveoreos]

Oh man! What a video! My fan used to spin so quickly and loudly to the point where I just felt like my laptop was about to explode now with this video! It's fixed!! The fan doesn't make noise or spin quickly! W video

[michaeldrahus]

This is a solution sent by heaven! Your video has brought peace to innumerable work places. You should be given a sainthood. GOD BLESS YOU SIR!!!

[chiangelica]

I’m so happy! my laptop has been scaring the living daylights out of me with its noisiness and this is the only thing that has helped!

[luthormendez]

Sir, why does this method work? What does it actually do on the system?

I've tried it and amazingly the laptop is no longer buzzing (thank you very much). I just finished cleaning it and I didn't want to go through another process for now.

Update (a few minutes after): Sir, why did the noise came back?

Update (3 days later): I didn't do anything else in the system. I simply shut off the laptop after using it from my previous update. Now what? There's no fan noise. What's actually happening here? Someone tech savvy pls enlighten, thank you.

Man I love how you got right to the point. Great vid
