Hi ansingh71,

It could be that the ventilation paths have accumulated some dust over time.

You may be able to clear some of this with the careful use of a compressed-air can but if this fails to fix it, the Vaio may need to be opened for a thorough spring clean.

As your Vaio is still within warranty, I would speak to Vaio Support before opening it as this may invalidate the warranty.

The fan might not be working properly. Overheating and noise are related and this could be a possible hardware issue. It may need to be RMAed.

Your best option would be to call the support team and check your options.
