Hello sampckns,

I am from Dell Social Media and Community.

Usually Fan noise can be eliminated by cleaning the fan.
Follow the link below for troubleshooting steps:

If this does not fix the issue, replace the thermal sensor.

If you need any further assistance, message me on twitter. I will be glad to help.
