Most of the time, during normal use, your fan won't be on.

The noise is the HD. If the fan gets going, it is really loud, but I assume thats normal, have it on faster for a sharter period of time.
What are you looking for? A signature?

the fan in ibooks are designed to only come on if it is absolutely needed, durring most operations/conditions it won't come on. Try useing a cooling pad to see if that helps.
