Get a multi meter and check the battery voltage while the car is not running. Should be over 12 volts.
start the car and turn on every electrical item possible then check the voltage, should be around 13 volts.
My guess is the alternator is bad.
fan noise could be your alternator is actually making the noise or your fan clutch is dying.

Check your primary fuseable link. Its next to the battery, inside a small black device. I had starting issues until I cleaned the contacts. Really bad corrosion could prevent charging. Beyond that, all wiring should be inspected.
