Grinding and scratching noise from laptop

[koolghost]

I have Acer Swift 5 laptop and there is scratching and grinding noise from the top right corner every time i turn it on, wake from sleep, launch some applications. According to the technician it is fan noise but the fan is located in the top left corner. There is little to no noise in the top left corner. What could be the problem?

Fan or hard drive if you don't have an SSD. Is the power supply in that area? Could be electrical noise from that.

There is no hard drive. The fan is located in the top left corner so i don't think it is fan. The charging port is located in that area so it could be electrical noise from that. Just to confirm, this looks like a problem right?

Without actually hearing it bit hard to tell, did you contact Acer support? Has it been happening since you had it?
