Laptop makes noise whenever I switch on.

[Dexter00]

My new Victus Laptop makes noise (like high pitch continous metal scratching noise) for 2-3 seconds whenever I turn it on from shutdown or restart or sleep. The noise comes from the front left and right corner, where the trackpad is located. From the gap as shown in the image, from both the corners.

 

I dont know if its the battery or something else, but the noise doesn't sound good. Is there any way I could fix it.

Hello @Dexter00 

You could disassemble the notebook to check the fan, but I would call in the warranty. The fan might be physically defective and need to be replaced.
