noisy fan

[Caz8]

I have had various issues with my HP laptop talking to Printer/scanner and it seems that my other problem with my first HP purchase is not unheard of after searching for information online. I bought my laptop in November 19 and from the first time I started it up I noticed how loud the fan was. I use it every day, several times a day and unfortunately now I have tinnitus and struggle to cope with the whiny noise it makes. I have resorted to using ear plugs which is ridiculous just to turn on a laptop. I have tried various settings changes to no avail. My question is , Is this a manufacturing fault or am I just unlucky with mine. My old lap top had far more programmes and clutter on and was far quieter. Is there anything I can do. Really cant afford to just bin it but also have to think of my sanity. It also has developed an intermittent sound issue so I can not watch videos as the sound cuts in and out.

I have done all you suggested, updated the bios, windows is all up to date, I did all the settings change stuff already on your noisy fan link but as I suspected it has made no difference to the whiny noise constantly coming from  laptop. I understand when the machine has to work hard the fan cuts in, but the noise even before it accelerates is at a pitch that is just unacceptable to me. My tinnitus now hears this noise even after I switch the machine off.  Other laptops I have owned have not had this constant noise. The intermittent sound coming and going issue has been resolved I believe but sadly the whine remains.
