Apple repair

My macbook has started to make an odd noise which I believe has been caused by a faulty right fan. It's barely audible but it's certainly getting worse and I'm unsure what to do. The device is a 2019 Macbook Pro and is still under warranty so there shouldn't be an issue there, right?

My main issue is that Covid-19 stops me from handing it into a store and I'm currently very dependant on it for uni work, seeing as our campus is currently off limits. Any advice?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

There’s a mail-in option. Best to get it addressed before the warranty expires.

Yes, hardware issues will be covered by the warranty and fixed for free.

If there is a hardware issue, will it be covered by the warranty? There's nothing I've done that should've caused the issue such as water damage or dropping it.

Apparently SSDs make a high pitch noise when reading/writing data. It would make sense that this is the issue as the noise seems the loudest when booting up. Sorry to be a nuisance over nothing.
