There is no DVD. It is possible that it is the fan, and that is my suspicion

all the time, but screeching at times.

Modern manufacturing is very precise and reproducible, so a given model
laptop will often have certain failure modes.    

Do you use a docking station or Type C USB dongle?   Have you seen
(could be only models sold in Canada, or there may be a similar article
for other countries).

"Mild rattling sound" could be a bad bearing, screeching would be a failed 
bearing causing contact on surfaces that should be separated.   Hold an air
vent up close (but not too close!) your ear.
