Fan
The fan in my tower sounds like a vaccuum. It doesn't sound like a normal fan. I asked around and people said "oh thats normal its just overworking itself and trying to cool off". No, I know what that sounds like and this doesn't sound like that. It sounds horrible and you can hear it from rooms away. Any ideas? Thanks!

Turn your computer off, and have the offending fan replaced.
If it is the CPU cooler, this is a relatively inexpensive repair.
If it is the fan in the power supply making noise, it is usually cheaper to replace the PS than change the fan out.
Either of these locking up (it is only a matter of time) will result in the death of your system.
Power supply fan failures have been known to cause electrical fires. The kind that burn houses down... :-(
Like I said, simply turn off your machine before it gives up the ghost and have the dying fan replaced.
It will not get any better on its own.
