hpdv-71450us fan noise?

I have a 2 yr old hp dv7-1450us laptop. For the last few weeks the fan is making an irritating loud running, grinding noise constantly. I have cleaned the fan. Running Windows 7 on it, and have made no changes to it. Anyone have any suggestions to stop it ? Thanks !

    you have to open your laptop and clean the fan inside and put a little bit of wd-40 on the fan spike ( what makes the fan rotate) it will not make no noise after that or overheat.
