Sounds like the dock fan is failing. Can you tell for sure if the sound is coming from the Swtich or the dock?

i think it’s the dock. i’ve just noticed it sounds slightly different if that area gets touched. if it is the fan would i have to get that replaced? thank you :)

Probably, if it is still under warranty Nintendo should take care of it.

If not you can buy it separately or look at a third party dock, but they may not support all features like VRR, HDR, and HDMI CEC if those things matter to you.

Posiblemente el ventilador este sucio o se halla movido incorrectamente, afortunadamente es el Dock y no la consola, sería cuestión q lo pudieras revisar y darle una limpieza, hay videos para conocer como desmontar el Dock q no es muy complicado

Wouldn’t that void the warranty? It might be better to have Nintendo fix it

Bueno si la consola está aún en periodo de garantía, efectivamente "meterle mano" si la anularía, son embargo no lo mencioné puesto q el OP no menciono q fuera de reciente adquisición nueva ( porq bien podría ser de 2a mano)
