My HP chromebook will not stop making this loud chiming noise. How can I fix this?

My Chromebook is a Hp. I don't know what to do.

I think that more than likely your issue is the fan. Over time fans can become dysfunctional due to dust buildup. You should follow the fan guide listed on this site at HP Chromebook 14-Q010DX Fan Replacement to remove the fan and clean it. If this doesn't fix your problem you should consider replacing your fan with a new one, or maybe a short to the speaker. hope this solves your issue! ( if it is a school Chromebook, let your administrator know.

Start your Chromebook in BIOS

Start Chromebook in BIOS

From within Chrome OS, press Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal window. Type shell and press Enter to access a full shell. When the script interface appears, choose the “Set Boot Options (GBB Flags)” option by typing “4” and pressing Enter.

If the above process does not work, shut down, and then when you start up, right away press F2 repeatedly and that should start in BIOS.

Once it starts in BIOS, listen for the noise. The same noise will indicate it is the fan making the noise.

Almost for sure, you will need to get the machine serviced at a local repair shop. If someone else owns the chromebook, let them know before taking it to the repair shop.
