My laptop has been making a buzzing noise recently. I bought it about 2-3 months ago and it was working fine but recently I would hear loud buzzing noises.
At first I thought it was just dust in the fan but when I cleaned the air vents several times I still get the buzzing noise. I checked to see if I had any malware, there was none. I did a BIOS update and even changed my setting so that the fan wouldn't be so noisy.
The only way the buzzing would stop was if I turn off the computer and turn it back on but in 5-10 mins it would just start buzzing again. I believe it may have to do with the fan since I realized that the buzzing would only happen when the fan was doing its thing.

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:
use the following steps:
- Shut down the computer, and then inspect and clean the exterior vents to remove dust buildup by blowing air through the vent openings. Dust can accumulate inside the vent openings and around internal cooling components, preventing the removal of heat.
For more information on reducing heat inside your computer, see Reducing Heat Inside the PC.
- After you remove the dust, turn on the computer. If the error message persists, continue with these steps.
- Perform a hard reset. Performing a hard reset can reset recorded thermal values in memory and enable you to use the computer again, even if only for a short time to access and save any important files before service.
For more information on performing a hard reset, see Use Hard Reset to Resolve Hardware and Software Issues.
- In some cases, updating the BIOS might help prevent this error from occurring. For more information on how to update the BIOS, see Updating the BIOS.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
