My doctor thinks that I've got sleep apnea and is sending me to a sleep center for some tests in a few weeks. I thought it would be fun and interesting to use a microphone to record myself in my sleep and see if I can hear anything abnormal.

Turns out I snore a little bit :p

Anyway, the mic was pretty sensitive and my seven hour recording picked up the sound of the computers fan going the entire time and it's a little difficult to hear other things. I'm just curious if it's possible to eliminate the certain range of frequencies that the fan is giving off.

I just downloaded Audacity and have been playing around with it. Thought it might be a good place to start.

Any ideas?

I'm sure there's software that could do it, but it might just be easier to power down your pc and try again?

why do you care? The sleep center won't bother listening to your tape as they will have you there for the study.
