Regular intermittent whirring sound in MacBook Pro

Can you hear the link I have added ... this is the sound my MacBook Pro (MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports - 1.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5) is making.

What is the noise and should I have the MacBook serviced? I have AppleCare+ and the machine is under warranty.

Irritating sound from Macbook M1 Hi, I have a problem with my macbook sound - on average every 30 seconds I have a very annoying momentary sound. Has anyone perhaps had a similar problem? I have had this problem since the beginning so it should not be an issue with any apps. I've also tried deleting most of the apps for testing, because at first I thought it was a "notification". Link to youtube, where the sound is heard at the 4th second: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ig4WOqPV3wY

MacBook making a crackling sound. For the last few days, my MacBook has been making a crackling sort of sound when I pick it up, like it's coming from underneath the MacBook. I've only noticed that this happens when it's hot and the fan is running. Any reason for concern?

There’s no link, but the whirring sound is most likely the fan.
