Hardware Laptop making weird noise

[Zane_Julien]

Hello everybody,
I'm not sure if this is the right category for this, but I didn't know where else ‍. So, I've got a Lenovo Ideapad 320 Laptop with Windows 10 on it, and I've never modded something on it. Today, I was editing an image with Gimp (ca. 2650x 1900) and when im moving around an image, my Laptop makes a noice (I turned the speakers off) that reminds me of the sound when an old printer is printing something. I can't remember that it had ever done it before, and it's still making this after restarting Gimp. Is the Laptop broken?

Sounds like it could be a problem with the fan, laptops have really inadequate cooling solutions that forces fans to run and do a lot of work, so they tend to wear out after some time, and get nosier. If it continues to make a lot of noise, you may want to look into getting the fan replaced.

Personally I'd just replace the fan as soon as I notice, but I realize not everyone is as tech savvy as I am, and taking apart laptops is kinda scary.

I'm hearing the fan of the laptop all the time, and this weird noice is more like the whistle of a teapot that's finished. [Im from germany, my descriptions may be a bit confusing]

Can you record the sound? (I'm so curious!)

No, it's really silent, I can only hear it when really focusing because of the fans

Have you tried a different mouse?

 

[Zane_Julien]

It's not because of the mouse, I even tried it with the touchpad and the noice is still coming when moving the image

Maybe?

No, tried both ports, and also without mouse or anything in the USB ports, still happening

It could be coil whine from the processor, Kaby Lake processors do suffer this issue, you can try reducing the maximum processor state in the power options and see if it helps.
