  • Check if this helps: http://askubuntu.com/a/46135/169250. It's about controlling fan speed (which of course is why your fan is noisy). – GabrielF Jan 08 '14 at 22:36

    You can either look for them in Ubuntu Software Center or type in your terminal (`Ctrl`+`Alt`+`T`): `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lm-sensors fancontrol` – GabrielF Jan 08 '14 at 23:15

These might be a little more work than you need to go through. What kind of graphics card (if any) do you have? I have an nvidia card and it was going nuts as soon as I installed Ubuntu 13.10.

Turns out..I was running on the open source video drivers and not the proprietary nvidia drivers. Once I upgraded (Go to Ubuntu Software Center > Edit > Softward Sources > Additional Drivers > you should see a list of possible options) to the proprietary drivers and restarted, my fans went back to normal.
