The fans are making a high pitched noise constantly. The noise goes up and down, but is always there. The laptop is less than one year old. It’s annoying enough that I want to wear noise cancelling earphones to block it out. Any suggestions on how to fix, or would this qualify for a warranty claim? ---

There may be dust blocking airflow. I would recommend taking the back cover off (do not touch anything inside), and using dried out compressed air to blow any dust out of the fans. Use care to not let the air rotate the fans too fast. Best to use a toothpick or something similar to prevent the fan from spinning; this method prevents your fingers from putting pressure on the fan bearings. Blow the air through the heat pipe in both directions for best chance of removing all of the dust. HTH ---

Thanks for your input. Something small was stuck in the fan and probably slowing it down or contributing to the noise. Now I’ve removed it, the laptop is quiet again!
