My laptop makes a strange sound regularly when i use it in bed .. is it normal ? like a hissing sound
sure its not your partner getting mad cos your on the laptop in bed? seriously, could be a fan starting to pack up
I may be the cooling fan. Make sure your not blocking the cooling ports. Over heating the processor takes life off the computer.
don't worry thats the voice of your colling fan when the vents are closed and laptop is over heated ovoid using laptop on bed or any sofa.
Don't put your laptop on bed,it decreases its performance.Because the hot air doesn't pass out completely from laptop due to non level base.
Using it in Bed! Ahh, Do you mean you use the laptop by keeping it on the bed? Most of the laptops have their cooling system beneath so make sure that you do not block the cooling area and not let the laptop heat. Place the laptop over a cardboard or a notebook in case you use it on bed. You should be aware that using on bed might blow off your laptop's motherboard and you might be in deep trouble!

There may be a problem of Fan, may be stucking out there, or the air is not passing properly of the fan due to the positioning on the bed. And if the sound is irritating then you should contact the hardware specialist for servicing.
Yea its definetly the fan. I would use a can of compressed air to remove the dust built up - try using one of the laptop tables it is a pillow on one side and a hard surface on the other this will maintain airflow.
I think that the bed make your laptop temperature go up, thus cause the fan run faster, Aks some experts to relocated the fan may resolve this problem. Or try taking the laptop battery out connected with wall power and open the cap.
You provided the answer your self it is due to the bed that the fan air gets the obstruction and the lappy gets over heated as well as the fan makes the noise so the next time try to get lappy on the table or another plain surface and you will experience the difference, also there are now stands there in the market to get you rid of the problem
