Loud Fan Low Temps

My netbook fan is getting super loud even though temps aren't that high.  Anyone know what the problem could be?

might be worthwhile reopening & double checking them screws

it was a little louder than normal last night which got me worried.     temp is only 43 right now and it's really quiet after reboot.   hopefully it stays that way.   but if not i'll let you guys know btw this replacement hd went in about a week ago and this is the first i've noticed the fan noise excessively.

my own experience using linux on a laptop is that fan kicks in whenever flash video is encountered.

well i was using flash pretty extensively the other day but not for nearly 5 hours before i noticed the sound.   I do use flash block as well in chromium
