Ok so I've had this Core 2 Duo, 17 inch iMac for less than a week now but this fan noise is something really annoying. It starts from power on to power off/sleep. I swear after 3-5 hours on this, doing work, after I go to bed I hear it in my head still!

I've contacted phone support and I was told I should make an appointment at the Apple store (great, two hour ride to the nearest) and I'm just kind of looking for insight on what they might say/do.

That's the recording, at the start it was near the iMac, and the rest of it was at my face level.

Should I expect a quick repair if it's just a noisy fan, or will this take weeks and I'll have to go back to the Apple store for another trip.

Thanks
