Clevo N141WU noise when fan is cooling

I just bought a Clevo N141WU (at system 76 it's known as the galago pro) from a Danish PC shop.
It mostly works really nicely, but when the fan is spinning down (after a hard workload) it starts making a really high pitched sound and the fan stops (it sounds like the fan isn't getting the needed voltage to spin).
I've called the shop, and their solution was some Windows software, but the PC came without Windows and I bought it to run Linux in the first place (since it was the same as the galago pro I thought it would work).
Since the laptop runs Linux from system76, I think it should be doable.
Is there anything I should install to make it run more better, or does someone know the bios trick to make the fan happy?
I'm running Solus 3.X where x is however many nines you want to spend your time inserting ;-)
Using the keyboard shortcut Fn+1 (found in a thread about the loud fans of the system76 galago pro) twice will turn on and off the fan. This will remove the sound until the next hard load is gone.
I've found two things since originally posting:
- system76 has some firmware update, but who knows if they'd be willing to send it to someone with a laptop from another reseller (I'll ask them nicely)
- System76 has a package in ubuntu called system76-dkms which might provide fan control, but it's not in the Solus repo. (I'll probably ask around in the Solus irc about how packaging works tonight.)

First step is to find out how the fan is controlled: via BIOS/ACPI, via something else? Not sure how many alternatives are there. One is via lm-sensors and fancontrold, and you can set the pulse width limits (too small pulses are probably making the high-pitched noise).

I'm not sure, It would seem that both bios and ACPI are possible, as the windows program should be able to control the fans (I was told by the guy at the company) and System76 seems to have a firmware update that allows control from the bios (I cannot access it currently)
