Oh it's the fan alright...it turns on and off about quite often. The temp of the computer is not stable so it's really working overtime. Anytime I start a conversation or a recording the processors heat up a bit and the fan starts up. It's definitely the fan being picked up by the on board mic.

Did you ding any solution? I think this is not HDD or Fan noise, this is some problem with the hardware/software. Dell is providing a driver 'IDT 92HD87B1" for this which is available for down load and states that it will fix "Skype Noise". I have installed it but it has not fixed the problem
