Fan is loud and sometimes makes clicking noise

[MaryMcC1997]

I have my laptop since december 2012. For a good while now the fan has been loud. Sometimes it makes a weird noise and its like it is going to break the noise can be a clicking noise and it ranges in sound for soft to loud. I was just wondering can my laptop be sent away to be fixed?

Welcome to the HP Forums,
I hope you're well 😉

As I understand the laptop is creating an excessive and a clicking noise,

Don't worry though as I have a few recommendations:

• Updating your Notebook computer BIOS
• Keeping notebook air vents clear and clean
• Increasing the efficiency of the notebook to reduce heat
• Using Windows Task Manager to identify corrupt processes
• Selecting power saves settings to shut off your computer when it is not in use
