Product: HP Pavilion Plus 16 inch Laptop PC 16-ab0000 (7Y6K0AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hi everyone,

I recently bought an HP Pavilion Plus 16 laptop, and I’ve noticed something that’s starting to bother me. Even when I’m just browsing the internet or doing very light tasks, the fans turn on and produce a constant wavering (like a sea waves), oscillating sound. It’s not extremely loud, but because the sound has a constant oscilattion, it’s quite distracting and irritating. Once the fans turn off, I notice that the keyboard area feels quite hot — even though, once again I’m not doing anything demanding like gaming or video editing. After some time, fans turn on again and everything repeats.

I didn’t expect this kind of behavior from quite a capable laptop (Intel core i7 13th generation, RTX GeForce 3050) under such a light use. I assume browsing alone wouldn’t make the system heat up or trigger fan noise this often. Any tips to reduce heat buildup or improve fan behavior? Could you please help on how to solve the issue? Thank you!
