HI,

I got a HP 15-r014TX laptop last month.
I haven't noticed any sound before, but from last 3-4 days I have been noticing something strange sound coming from left bottom corner.
When I put my hands near the sound source, I could feel the vibration in my hands.
The sound is loud and it is rattling.

But after around 10 seconds, the sounds stops completely. This only happens when I startup or when I turn the laptop on after Sleep.

This cannot be from the DVD Drive because its on the right while the sound is from the upper left corner.

Please help.
 
Solution
This is most likely the fan. Make sure nothing got stuck in the slots, and is impeding the blades from spinning.

The other thing that could make sounds is the hard drive, but unlikely it would stop in 10 seconds.
