Computers can quickly become very noisy due to their ventilation. We explain how to easily fix this.
Do you have a computer that makes too much noise? It is particularly annoying to have a computer machine that whistles or hisses a lot (or worse) when you are in a calm and quiet environment. We all know that this noise usually comes from the fans of your device that suddenly start running at full speed.
In order to function normally, a computer needs ventilation. Daily use and starting up a computer puts a lot of strain on the computer components, causing them to heat up. This is why it is essential for a computer to have a ventilation system to cool all the components and allow them to function normally and for a long time.
Unfortunately, it is not uncommon to see some computers with fans running at full speed to the point of making a lot of noise. This is especially common for some inexpensive computers where manufacturers have saved money by installing very noisy fans. It is also possible that the fans are old and worn to the point of being filled with dust and other unwanted substances which then cause them to run at full speed.
If you are tired of these noise nuisances, there are several foolproof techniques to try to reduce the noise of your fans:
- Buying a Computer Cooler
- Cleaning the inside of your computer (especially the fan plates)
- Changing various components if they are not soldered to your computer
In addition to these hardware issues and adjustments, it is also advisable to do a little cleaning in your computer’s software. To do this, be sure not to keep open unnecessary and particularly resource-intensive applications that would put a lot of strain on the components of your machine. Also regularly clean out junk files and the recycle bin on your PC.
If you have too many files, it may also be worth moving them to an online server or an external hard drive to free up some space on your computer. It is also possible to add more storage via an SD card if needed.
If none of these techniques work, you can finally take your computer to a repair center. The experts will take a look at it and may discover problems that you were unable to find. As a last resort, you may be advised to upgrade to a newer machine.
