1 box fan and 1 cpu fan. (dunno its brand)

I'm asking this because I want to do some overnight downloading.
When my computer is on the sound of my computer can be heard from a room 10 meters across from mines. Is this normal?? Are there solutions to lower the sounds from the fan, HD, CD etc. without putting my computer at risk??
Sounds like it is time to clean the computer.

If it is the hard drive is making the noise then it is warning sign that your hard drive will fail soon.
