Computer whirring very loudly

    hi - at work, there is a guy who has a hp computer (makes short films etc).
    I sit across from him.
    His computer, for the last few weeks (maybe they gave him a new one-I havent asked/said anything yet-dont want to offend), is driving me mental.
    It is constantly whirring at a high pitch - I guess the more he makes the computer work, the louder the whir gets. The guy himself wears headphones most of the day.
    My left ear is actually popping when it get VERY loud/loud pitch.
    Is there anything that can be done with the computer/or make me understand what is happening to it?
    Not nice sitting near this for 8hrs a day!

    Talk to the guy and let him know that his PC is whirring. Explain that it's disturbing you.

    He could call your technical support.
    He could notify management that constant noise is breach of health and safety.
    He could open the case. See if it's a fan or something. Take out fan and throw it away.

    i wouldnt recommend throwing any fans away.... firstly it is not your property to throw away... I.T. guys dont like ye fiddling with their stuff and could get u sacked.

    2 things cause a whirring fan...

    1. the fan's bearings are knackered
    2. the fan or heatsink is clogged up with dust.

    have your I.T. Dept replace the fan
