Hi! I've had my Omen 15 for 4 months now. Recently Windows automatically updated and ever since then I've had a weird deep vibration noise under my keyboard, mostly when my laptop is under heavy workload. I'm worried that it might be the sound of a broken / loose component. If it is, does the warranty cover it? And if it's not, how do I get rid of the annoying sound?
Thanks everyone for helping!

If you only have SSD then there are no moving parts except from the cooling fan so, mostly the sound is coming from the cooling fan which only kicks in at audible level when laptop is under heavy load it may be possible that something is obstructing the fans but very unlikely as you mentioned that it only makes sound when under heavy load, and if you have Hard disk drive (HDD) then the sound may be coming from it. you can't get rid of them if the fans don't cool your system will fail.

Did encounter the noise before the Windows Update? It is possible that the Windows update that was installed recently is making your computer work a lot harder, hence the noise, which is probably from your HD. Try doing a system restore

or uninstall the latest update from your laptop
