MAJOR PROBLEM-Never had this before!

[john12345]

Hi all, I really need your help. My Macbook Pro started making a strange noise approximately 20mins ago. It's as if the hardware is over heating coupled with a rolling-type sound. the computer still works but I'm afraid it will crash any moment.
Please find attached a recording of the noise tha can be heard:

I would really appreciate your help!

Best,

That could we be the Harddrive, not a good sound. If its not that its a fan. Check the Activity Monitor to see if a Process is using lots of CPU.

Get a backup, either way.

Thanks a lot, it was the fan luckily and got fixed.
