f you can barely hear yourself think over the fan noise emanating from your
computer, it’s probably time to diagnose why your PC sounds like a wind
tunnel. It could be a major issue, a minor inconvenience, or something in
between. Here are a few things to try.CHECK WHICH SOFTWARE IS RUNNING
Before you rush to grab your screwdriver, look into which software is currently
running, the resources it’s using, and whether that fan noise is warranted. On a
Windows machine, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to bring up the Task Manager and
click the More Details button. If you’re on a Mac, press Ctrl+Space and search
for Activity Monitor. It may also help to download a program like Core Temp
(Windows) or Temp Monitor (Mac) to see if your CPU is getting hot.How to Fix a Noisy
