    Try updating ur driver or using msi afterburner to set ur clock to a really low speed when ur not using it. I think both combined helped me solve that issue. It was very annoying and it sounded like my laptop was breathing.

    Maybe download a temp monitor and see if you notice any anomalies.

    dont download temp monitoring softwares, they are one of the main reasons the fan will go on and off..
