    @BigBoss5090 an advice: don't use your laptop above the bed !! the dust or cotton from the bed will stuck on fan vents, and you will see a reduction on heat dissipation
    don't use your laptop on any soft surface, only on hard or use an stand if you want to use it above bed ( still not recommendable)

    yes, i have a 15 r1 and i never noted that before i see your video, i can hear something, not too much, but something ...
    i think in my case is because i removed the battery and that is just above the palm rest
