Your computer has a built-in variable speed fan. In addition, your
computer uses a powerful processor which produces heat. Both the
system fan and processor can run at different speeds at times to
ensure proper system cooling. You may notice an increase in the fan
noise when the fan is running at high speed and a decrease in the
fan noise when it switches to normal speed.
