Whining sound.

[Thomas5624]

Just received a HP Pavilion TP01-0026na Desktop, that I bought from HP. It makes an almost constant whining sound. The whining sound produced by my HP Pavilion TP01-0026na Desktop is especially noticeable / irritating when the surroudings are quiet. Even my Dad (aged 78) with poor hearing, can hear this whining sound. My old HP Pavilion Slimline Desktop never made such a sound, and in comparison always seemed almost completely quiet. Furthemore, I don't game.
If I had known that this whining sound would occur, I would not have bought it.
Are your computers not tested for such sounds before they leave the factory?
Please help, with simple instructions, as I have limited knowledge regarding computers?

Perth, Scotland (constituent country), UK.

Update: It seems to have quietened down. Though it was quite loud for about 1.5 days.

Further Update: The whining seems to have returned.

@Thomas5624 Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that you are getting Whining sound from the laptop.

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

Did you update the BIOS?

Does the noise appear when booting into windows or while you play any specific game, video, etc?

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

I have disappointed about HP for this bad design.

Sorry, this is late.

It is now a lot quieter, but still louder than I would like. However, I can live with it.

Thank you all for your help.

I tried to reply to each individual helper, however, this is the result:

Sorry, this is late.

It is now much quieter, but still louder than I would like. However, I can live with it.
