Mar 9, 2016 3:58 PM in response to pleuniby OGELTHORPE,To fix it, bring the MBP to an apple store genius bar and have them correct the problem under the one year warranty provisions.
Try a SMC reset:

Run an Apple Hardware Diagnostics:

Install a temperature/fan speed monitoring application and post back the temperatures that are being developed. Also post back an image of Activity Monitor set to ALL PROCESSES and CPU set to show values from high to low.
Ciao.

Mar 9, 2016 6:01 PM in response to OGELTHORPEby Courcoul,Really, the trip to the Store for under-warranty repairs is the only choice with these modern sealed systems.
And once they fix it, time to consider purchasing the extra 2 years of coverage AppleCare gets you. For as it now stands, in 3 months you'll be out in the cold.

I found the cause of the problem. Some whizzkid friend of mine got a better look at the CPU's and found an unfinished printer task that's been keeping the MacBook very busy. The noise is gone now. I'm really happy I don't have to go see a Genius (since I'm living on Aruba and they don't have them here....)
