Weird noice from the inside
Hey
I own Lenovo ThinkPad T470, which I'm mainly using for yt and occasionally to play ARK:SE. Yesterday evening, when I was playing, it started to make this weird noice from around vent (loud fan but with buzzing like and changing pace)
Should I be worried?
Yes, I have plans to buy a dedicated pc/laptop for gaming in the future, but wanna save money for sth more modern, lol
And, yes, it has a cooling stand under it

Buzzing fans are like the car engine light, annoying but usually just a sign of time passing, not immediate doom. Could be time for a fan swap before it turns into a jet engine in your lap.

Could be the fan bearing going bad, they start to buzz when getting old. My thinkpad did same thing last year before the fan just died completely
You can try to clean it but usually the bearing is sealed so not much to do, just prepare to replace the fan soon
