As a ballpark, if you aren’t running anything strenuous and your CPU is 70 degrees celsius or higher, I’d say that’s abnormal, and will likely cause excessive fan noise. A program like Core Temp (Windows) or Fanny (macOS) can tell you if your CPU is running hot. If your computer is idle and still making fan noise, it could be overheating. If your computer still has a DVD drive, then it could be in the process of failing, and needs repair or replacement. One you’ve ruled out your hard drive as the culprit, you’ll need to dig a little deeper to find the source of that clicking sound. If your hard drives are healthy, take the incident as a warning and avoid any unpleasant surprises by backing up your data regularly, because as it happens to any living creature, all hard drives will die one day. Once all your files are safe, consider replacing your drive with an SSD-not only will it likely last longer, but it’ll make your computer feel much faster. You may still have some time to do so-occasionally a drive marked “Caution” can still run for years, but if it’s making noises, the drive’s death might be close. Fire up the program, click on each of your drives in the menu, and make sure they’re all listed as “Good.” If it indicates your drive is anything less than that, you should back up all your data as soon as possible. To check your drive’s health, I recommend a third-party tool like CrystalDiskInfo (Windows) or DriveDx (macOS).
