I opened it up:
No dust.
No clogged intake filter.
No intake filter.
No loose screws.
No loose wires.
No WD40 for me.
No loud radio for me.
WWDC should see Snow Leopard. If there's also a new iMac,

I would give it a shot of canned air. Look for loose screws. Look for
wires touching moving parts. WD40 sometimes helps, though some would

horrified at this idea.
Best solution would be to turn up the radio volume.
