    [Electrical] Fixing MacBook fan noise

    My Mac starts to sound like there's a jet engine spinning inside it, which is not only annoying, but could also be a sign that something is wrong. The problem could be your Mac overheating or a faulty fan. What can you tell?

    I'd start with canned air to clean the processor off. If it's got a layer of dust on it, the fan can't cool it down enough.
    Hope that helps !

      As long as it is making the noise, you know that the fan is still running.

        Hey! Thanks for the answers! My friends told me five possible reasons for computer noisy fan and I have already solved my problem, but maybe for someone this question was also relevant, so I will leave the information below.First, you may have too many programs running at the same time, causing your computer to work overtime and heat up quickly. It is a good idea to close all unnecessary programs. Second, your Mac may need to be cleaned of dust, as accumulated dust can block airflow and lead to overheating. Third, your Mac may be old and unable to withstand the demands of new software updates or heavy use. Fourth, the problem may be with the fan itself, in which case it may need to be replaced by a professional. Finally, using the Mac on soft surfaces such as beds or sofas can block the vents and contribute to fan noise. By troubleshooting these possible issues, you can eliminate the noisy fan and keep your Mac running smoothly.
