Likely dust accumulation.
Mine stopped on its own.

You funny o. If it's still working, let a technician adjust the sitting. Cheers!!

Check the back of the laptop, something might be hooked to the fan blade. Dust it out and it should work well... If not, look for an engineer to help you check it out. Its nothing that serious

Abeg make we laff first.....

We are coming back with the solution after dis laffta,
Pls bear with us.

Grinding machine kwa cheesy

grin cheesy wink

Now, on a serious note.
Here is your Solution :
Loud laptop fans mean heat; if your fans are always loud then that means your laptop is always hot.
Dust and hair buildup are unavoidable, and only serves to reduce airflow. Reduced airflow means poor heat dissipation, so you'll need to physically clean the machine to make things better.
To clean your machine, you'll need a can of compressed air, a screwdriver to open your laptop, and patience.
You should also use an anti-static wristband and unplug your machine from the power (and if possible, remove the battery) to avoid damaging the internals or yourself with static electricity.
Use the air in short bursts to remove dust and hair from the internal components, particularly around fans and heatsinks.
Take the time to read our thorough laptop cleaning guide which covers ports, vents, and internals

All the very best!
We Rise.

The fan compound has accumulated dust or particles. Try and use a air cannister to clean it.
What does it look like and where can I get one please?

When you hibernate your laptop instead of shutting it down completely after sometimes the fan begins to make such noise, it could also be that dust have accumulated in the fan compartment.

Just clean the fan. If that fails then you need to change the fan. Simple.

Give it to laptop technician to look into the fan ....it might not require replacement but just oiling ....infact they know what to do . Worse case you replace the fan

From experience, there are two things involved. It could be that there is too much dust inside (which is the most like problem)..or the fan is bad, which can easily be replaced. Don't worry yourself. I fixed mine a few months ago. Same problem
Re: Laptop Fan Sounds Like Grinding Machine by femiasaolu2014: 8:18pm On Sep 11, 2021
Stop slamming your laptop. You could damage it.

Apply thermal paste to your laptop, as since your fan is still turning, it's not the issue with the fan, it only increases because it is overworking trying to cool it down.

Read this write-up to understand how to do it. https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Clean-Laptop-Fan-and-Apply-Thermal-Paste-on/

I had similar issue few years back and I actually gave a technician but it started after some few days again so I googled solutions and discovered that after cleaning the fan then adding sewing machine oil it stopped stressing me pls don't waste ur money by changing the fan and if u can't fix ursef make sure the technician uses sewing machine oil trust me it works goodluck
