    i had this laptop for about 2 months and i noticed that the noise from the fan is quite...lound

    also i felt it became louder than last couple of months

    I'm not sure if its just my illusion but i read few posts that this model has got loud fan noise or loud whining etc..

    actually i noticed this from couple of days ago..and i guess it seemed ok before that time..

    also yesterday i copied lot of files to my laptop almost used whole hard drive capacity..and after that it seems that the fan noise got louder ..

    is this the problem or normal?

    This is my first time using laptop so i'm not sure..

    any advise would be appreciated

    It just means it's working harder to cool your system down.

    yesterday i compared with my friends laptop which was vaio and HP..
    and it seems my one is relatively louder than those..is it just my illusion?

    another questions is that does it get louder in regular frequences?

    It is normal for it to vary from very silent to quite noticeable depending on how hard you are working the system.

    However, a couple of times recently our M1330's fan started to rattle very loudly. It is intermittent and quiet again now. I can't be bothered to do anything about it at the moment but if it does become a persistent problem I guess I will have to do something.
