Hi all,

Like a lot of my forum posts on here, the title says everything. 

Over the last few weeks, I've noticed that sometimes my laptop would make really loud grinding-type sounds, and as of recent, they've been happening more frequently.

I recorded the grinding sounds and they can be heard here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18by9-HrWDVT-C2uJn6IG95QbgSzfd1dz/view?usp=sharing

I'm guessing this sound is coming from the CPU fan, but I'm not entirely sure about that. How can I fix this? (That is, if there's a fix for this issue.)
Thanks in advance!
