@mohammed28951 since iFixit does not yet have a specific guide for that, use something like the HP Victus Maintenance And Service Guide to work on your computer. Start with the bottom cover removal as described on page 49. That will let you check your fan as well as the rest of the computer.
While you work on your computer, take lots of pictures. Once you are done with it, take those pictures and create a guide for iFixit. That will help the next person that has a device with the same issues as you do. It's easy and fun to create these guides. https://ifixit.com/Guide/new The iFixit community will appreciate this.

Hi Mohammed! What type of noise is your laptop making? Is it more of like a crunching sound or is it more like a whirring sound? If its whirring, that it is likely that your laptop if fine and that is the normal sound you are nothing.

It's a light clicking and buzzing sound... I believe, based on my humble experience, that the laptop's fan is suffering from dust buildup. I just want to know the correct way to disassemble the computer.

@ugiee Just like the original answer says, replace the fan.

For me, first it was a humming sound that was increasing day by day. After some days, crackle sounds like a small pebble being stuck in fans.
I fixed it by watching a youtube video(https://youtu.be/FfMXY_ROZZI) which was for different laptop but the problem matched mine. The solution was to add oil to the motor axis rod. Disassembling the laptop was easy as there are many guides but the fan also needed disassembling which required cutting some plastic teeth/locks as shown in the youtube video. I cleaned the dust in the fans while at it. Hope this helps.
