The fan usually gets louder (just like on a PC) when it accumulates tons of dust. Whenever that happens to my PC I open it up, use compressed air to dislodge anything from the fans and it goes back to being very quiet. If you don't do anything about it, you are on the road to fail.
Fans are just a gimmick, just like expensive HDMI cables which basically do no better than $10 ones. The best thing you can do for any machine that gets hot is to put it in a well ventilated area. Lots of people put their consoles in an enclosure and wonder why it bricks a couple months later.
