HP Pavilion 15 EXCESSIVE FAN NOISE

[AmberLeannDrake]

I am having the same issue - mine is BRAND new out of the box. 

It is so loud. Like a high pitched whining. It is terribly irritating. Is there any way to fix this? Or are all of them like this? I feel like it should not be this loud.

Anyone have any advice? I am thinking of returning this one for a new one of the same model... But, I am afraid the new one will be just as loud.
