After I leave my computer on for about 8 hours I start hearing noises from the tower. Does anyone know how to reduce the noise. And also how to reduce the hard drive spinning sounds.

I've only had it six months and I already air compressed it like a month ago.

When was the last time you took the cover off your computer tower and did basic maintenance? at least once a year or more if your home is dusty you should take it outside and blow all the dust out of it, you can buy cans of compressed air....
if your HD is making loud noises it is getting ready to quit on you...hope you have it backed up (all your info saved)
if you have your computer in an enclosed area it could be getting too hot....i have a little oscillating fan blowing on mine whenever i have it turned on for long periods of time since it gets very hot here during the summer no matter much we run the A/C

i'm not 100% sure what the product is called but you can get some instalation type stuff to place in your unit which helps reduce any noise from your system. The noise could be your fan and may indicate a problem it may be worth getting it checked out. most computer retailers will be able to advise you on your next steps.

Don't leave your computer on that long. Honestly turn it off and go outside and do something. Maybe go for a walk. Why would you be on the coputer for more than 8 hours, and If your not on it the why is it on?

i think you processor fan is bad you can change that to reduce that sound.
for HD spinning sound you cant do any thing. try to cool down you computer. you should place your computer where its keep cool stay away from any heating area etc.
