Help laptop's fans suddenly started making a lot of noise like a rattling sound, and i dont mean they spinning faster.

[Nami]

They spin at same speed but they make like idk a growling noise, this didnt happen before.
Any info? 😭😭😭

[Nami]

Also my laptop is not overheating, ik that usual jet engine sound they make when they at full speed, but my fans make the ugly noises when they are at normal speed.

Either something is obstructing the fan itself or the motor (dust, a wire, etc.) or the bearings or sleeves in fan are going bad, presuming it's the fan and not a hard drive.

bad fan or something stuck in it

How urgent if for me to send it to repairs? like how much it costs? for the moment the laptop has not overheating issues and also im not exactly swiming in money ;(

First off lets stand back and ask...

> What model of Laptop?
> What month/year was purchased?
> How long is your warranty and through who do you have it with?

Clean the laptop, free it of ANY dust inside and out as often as you feel the need.
Especially when you can visibly see dust build up in the intake/exhaust areas of the vents and such.

My laptop its a Hyundai ;( its like 3 years old so no garantee anymore, i never had any problems before also it may be my fault cuz my duster bottle ran out of hair and forgot to buy anothe for cleaning like for 4 months ;(

I dusted it already and the ugly noise remains there, its kinda of loud. again no temperature problems so far.

You'll have to hunt down fan replacements and install new fans.
It's not that hard. But it might be hard if this laptop model is not common enough.
Check Ebay for the Laptop model# and put words like cooling fans after that in an Ebay search. I've done this for many laptops over the years to get official or oem replacement parts for things like Laptop screens, cooling fans, keyboards, touch-pads, battery, ac power brick; etc.
