Dell 14 7472 fan problem
For the last couple of days I've been noticing whenever the laptop is on load then the fan will start making noises, but it's very different than normal, it was quite loud and it sounds like when a fan is always hitting something or when a fan is very close to the ground and it cannot gets air. The thing is, today it got worse, the sound got louder and starts sometimes acting like if you're hearing a noise of a car, when the driver goes vroom vroom but multiple and consecutive times. I have tried opening up the back and saw nothing wrong with the fan, maybe I'm missing something?

I also have this laptop Dell Inspiron 7472. I bought it brand new and it started making loud fan noise about 6 months in. I sent it back to Dell and they replaced the fan and heatsink unit. It is now 1.5 year old and it is making fan noise again. I chatted with dell support and they told me this laptop is part of the loud fan noise list below. You just need to replace the fan every year, which costs about $150-200.

I update bios, etc. not solving this problem. I totally didn't understand why the manufacturer didn't check it first before mass production
I love the old Dell laptop. very good quality. but not with this one
Mine as well!
I just found out my laptop fan sounds bad this morning. I've checked to the official service center, they said the fan was broken and need to be replaced. Turns out the spare part is not available and must be indent for 4-6 months! Crazy!
I need this laptop to be fixed asap for my work! Please help me!

You can try updating Windows, driver and BIOS.
