Sounds like a temperature problem. Perhaps you'd consider adding some
pertinent information, such as:

What hardware is this is happening on?
Are you monitoring system temperature and if so is it normal or high?
Does 'top' show any cpu hogs?
Does the problem also happen on F10 or any other system (e.g. a Live
CD)?

In the past, my noisy fan problems have always been caused by
temperature, caused in turn by dust clogging intakes or even fan motors.
