HP Spectre x360 with weird clicking noise

[Anjum1]

Hi guys/gals

I have just unboxed and setup Spectre X360 i7 today, running Windows 10 64 bit and everytime the fan starts it makes this crackling sound near top left corner.  I'm assuming its the fan as I've updated speaker drivers, but the crackling remains.

Any help or anyone found a solution to this??

I'm tempted to take mine back to the store I got it from earlier today.

Peace be unto you,

Thank you for posting on HP Forums,

As I Understand there are weird clicking noises coming from the computer,

No worries as I'd love to help, however, I need a few more details to provide an accurate solution:

Did you have any accidents such as dropping the computer on the floor, etc...?

When was the last time it worked without these issues?

In the meantime, 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

Hi Anjum, I have exactly the same problem with my 15.6 inch Spectre X360, the left fan makes clicky noise, it almost sounds like the fan blade is scratching something or there's something loose with the bearing. I bought mine from Amazon 2 weeks ago, and I am now working in China. Since this model is not available yet in China, I am not sure if I get any support from HP China.
