Cleaning the fan a bit with air, and then what I have done is to hook it to a monitor and put it upside down (and lid closed with laptop screen turned off) so that there is more air circulating has meant a remarkably quiet time. Perhaps the cleaning also helped. Let us see. Many thanks for your help!
