My T60 fan does run all the time (when it is not suspended). But not loudly . According to gnome-sensors (in the panel) and ibm-acpi, the fan is running at 3279rpm and the CPU is at 46C, the load average is 0.1 and the machine is idle except for this open xterm. > 2.

This helps the fan work more efficiently, hence slower. And the cruft can also get in the fan blades and make noise. It may be possible to blow the cruft out with compressed air - access is under the keyboard, IIRC, you must remove that to blow the stuff out the side exhaust.
