Product: HP Pavilion 15-ab157nr
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My new HP Pavilion 15-ab157nr laptop cooling fan has a whine that I can't remember having on my old HP laptop G62-340US .  It may be that I am just sensitive to noise on a new computer, but I was wondering if anybody else has this problem.

BIOS update was scary to do, but it went well.  Cooling fan sound may have changed somewhat, then again maybe I am getting used to the sound.  Thanks for your help!
