    Unfortunately, there isnt much one can do about controlling the fans in most laptops. If it is possible check to see if there is anything loose and dust. If the fan is still making annoying noises then you could try a replacement. You should expect some noise from the fan though, I dont think they can ever get totally silent.

    The fan on my dv5000z is very quiet. I can barely hear it, but it still keeps my notebook cool. If I were in your situation I'd contact HP.
