Macbook hardware query

I recently purchased an apple refurbished MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports). After about 2 months of use, I began noticing an intermittent clicking sound and a regular whirring sound.


I assume it's the fan, but I am no expert.


Any ideas of what this noise is and what I should do?


Thanks.

If you make a Genius Bar appointment, they should be able to diagnose the problem while you wait, and let you know how long the repair should take. Then you can decide what to do.

Thanks to all, I am continuing to document the sound. Because it just began and is very unusual and intermittent, I am monitoring it before I bring it to an Apple dealer. I do have a warranty and AppleCare+ on it, so I will refrain home

remedies.


Just curious if anyone else has had this issue. I will record it next time and share.


Let's keep this open for a bit and see if anyone is reporting similar issues with their MacBook.
