Although this time it only persists for a short while after I take it out of sleep mode. Starts as a...thrumming, I think...then adds a light rattling noise. Any suspicions as to what this is about? The fan is whatever is built into the usual Toshiba Satellite C855-S5350.

Often times the fans that make that sort of a noise is an indication that it will fail at any moment of time. I would suggest that you keep a spare cooling fan at hand(one that conforms to your laptop) after you've verified that you've cleaned the cooling fan of any hair follicles and debris.

Question from SkyknightXi : "And the fan STILL rustles..."



In your situation, I think it would be best to replace the fans if they are bothering you with their noise levels.
