Anyway, I have a Dell XPS 13 (9370) circa 2018 and since this afternoon it has been
making screeching sounds, sort of like it is screeching to a new place, then screeching
back, and so on. It has a SSD (400-AVHW) so what could it be?
I thought that it may be the battery overheating (because it was bulging too) causing the
fan to whir on, so we removed it (and ordered a new one) but the screeching sound is still
on.
Generally the only thing that could be screeching is the fan or maybe a
DVD drive. Can you listen to localize more specifically where the sound
is coming from?
