Aurora-R7, top fan, noise between 1670 to 1770 RPM
​This is driving me nuts. There's a strange oscillating noise that sounds like a rattle that only manifests itself between 1670 to 1770 RPM. It's cyclical, meaning you hear it for a second, then it goes away just to recur a second later. The noise goes away when tilting the R7 chassis from

Fan Noise
I just got a 4550 Desktop and have a loud fan noise when I use it.  Is this normal?  It doesn't seem that it is.  I have an older Dimension 4100 and had the same noise and had to have the fan replaced.  Is this common on the 4550?

constant background noise
hear, almost constantly, a low background noise while using my laptop (open box dell precision 7540, i9-9880H, 16 GB RAM, 512 SSD and 1 TB HDD). The noise doesn't sound like a fan noise but more like a hard drive read/write noise. I'm wondering if this is normal or a sign of a trouble?​

Aurora R11, replaced fans but still noisy, out of warranty

I should have sent my Aurora R11 back when it was still under warranty right away as I have had this crazy spinning up of the fan noise since I got it. I thought it was normal till a friend of mine came over and told me otherwise, but alas my warranty ended in August and Dell doesn't want to return
