It's normal for laptop to make very soft quiet noises while running right? Don't know how to describe it really.
 
Youtube link to hear it?

The fans are always running and occasionally the RAM will make a whining noise like an old CRT television. Could be the hard drive spinning up as well, assuming of course you don't have an SSD on board.

If it's grinding or crunching, be worried. Otherwise, it's probably just normal computer noises.
