Re: CPU speed

Close programs you're not using?

On noise, the CPU itself makes very little noise. So little, it's undetectable by the human ear. The noise you're hearing is probably a fan. Try pinpointing the source of the noise, then see if anything needs tightening.

Try pinpointing the source of the noise.

Your main fan is probably on the upper rear of your case. Stop that fan (e.g. by placing your finger on it) briefly to see if the noise stops.

Re: CPU speed

It might help if you tell us which laptop... IIRC there is a known bug about fan control in some laptops. Thus it might not be that your CPU is "working too much", as you put it, merely that the fan is spinning faster than you'd like.

You might also want to investigate fancontrol and sensors, in the package lm-sensors - no idea if they work for laptops, and take a bit of setting up.

Seems to be related to "powernowd" and on-demand scaling -- there are several posts describing fixes, but they don't seem to be universal in fixing it ....
