Hey @borda ,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

I understand you're experiencing a buzzing sound right of center on your Pavilion 15 notebook.

The only things that can cause buzzing in that area are the optical drive and the hard drive. It could also be the keyboard tabs vibrating on the chassis of the notebook but that is less likely.

You stated that you sent the notebook to the service center, what did they do? Was the HDD or ODD replaced?

Have you run the hardware tests on the HDD? If not, please do that now. Run the quick and extensive tests: Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 😎 or Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista).

Thanks.

Pardon me, I forget to wrote cant..."I cant sent it to service center" and I did that extensive hardware test on hard drive, all test passed.

Beyond testing the hardware with the included tools there isn't much I can do for you on the forums regarding hardware problems. 

You can try removing the ODD and booting up the notebook to see if it continues to buzz. If it does, put the ODD back in and remove the HDD and power it on. Windows will not boot, but there should be power to the devices to see if the buzzing continues.

If the buzzing only happens when you're working with the notebook it's possible you;re hearing the cooling fan vibrating or a keyboard mount is vibrating.

Without being able to send in the notebook there is little I can do for you regarding a hardware problem. I understand you may need your notebook but it would be better to get it fixed while in warranty than experiencing a more serious error down the road because the issue was neglected.

Ohk, I understand the risk, btw the sound is too low hearable if we puts our ear near keyboard and can I send Laptop within a month if required, acutally in end of jan?

If you can only hear the buzzing by putting your ear down to the keyboard I wouldn't suspect anything is wrong with your notebook. Hard drives have spinning discs in them. Anything with movement makes noise and unless it is a loud buzzing, grinding, or chirping things are likely fine.

If you feel this is not a safe sound you will need to contact phone support to discuss service options including when you can send the notebook in.
