Is it a very high-pitched "screaming" sound? Sounds like your circuit-board/it's componants/your OLED screen. If you put your ear up-to ANY regulated mod, you can usually hear a faint + constant high-pitched noise. Sounds-like your particular CF4 is making that noise a little-louder than normal...
If you recently purchased the mod, let the vendor know what's going-on. They might replace it. If you purchased the mod last month, still inform the vendor, but then go to the mod's manufacturers contact page and contact the manufacturer as-well, they may be willing to replace it for the cost of shipping both ways. IDK.
I am unsure of whether or not this is a true safety issue. I feel like it probably isn't. As-long as the PV is vaping on-par with your other regulated PVs (if you have others) or your friends regulated PVs, IE: If at 12w, it feels like 12w on other regulated mods. If it FEELS like the same vape you get at the SAME settings with the SAME tank on other regulated mods, it's most-likely going to be OK to vape. Feel me? Compare it to other mods. If for example, you try a friends PV at 12w and then you try your PV at 12w w/ the same tank, and YOUR PV feels a LOT more powerful, or a LOT LESS powerful, then it's a safety issue, and I would stop using it, as it may have a serious issue with the circuit board, and it may be malfunctioning & giving you less or more wattage. Feel me?
If it starts to read your resistance or battery voltage all wonky, I'd stop using it as-well. Other than these issues, if it continues to vape normally, just be-careful, ok? & I am NOT a doctor, or PV doctor, lol- So, idk if I should be telling you that it's alright to vape, these are just MY feelings/thoughts on the matter. Vape @ UR own RISK!
& ENJOY your vape journey, my man.... Send that thing back, esp if it isn't vaping correctly. otherwise, don't even worry about it. ESPECIALLY if you have-to put your ear up-to it to even HEAR the sound. If you do, then it's pretty much just a NORMAL thing. MOST ALL regulated mods have a consistent high-pitched sound that may increase in volume when taking a hit. So don't even worry about it if it is that faint, its normal.

Well that's definitely not good. Ordinarily I'd say try cleaning out the connection area, maybe there's some crap in there making it short out. But it doesn't sound like this thing is safe to handle at the moment. This is outside my expertise so until someone else comes along with some better advice I say just use the button on the bottom of the mod and shut it off for now. Don't wantcha to blow yourself up lol.
It is a few months old
When I turn it off for abit then turn it back on I can get about half of one of my usual mouth to lung hit before it screams and displays "Too hot" on the screen
AHHHHHH! then this is indeed a VERY possible SAFETY issue... the coolfire4 is an INTERNAL BATTERY MOD- Therefore, if the Coolfire4 is throwing overheating-codes/messages, and if the device is NOT vaping as it should, this means that the BATTERY COULD-BE MALFUNCTIONING!!! The internal battery may be reaching it's limit, and getting-ready to vent/explode/etc.
Yes, it sounds like the internal temp of the battery has been rising each day... I would STOP using this mod & move-on to your next favorite mod in your lineup. Thank god for the vaping golden rule "Have Backups for your backups" right? I do hope that you've got a 2nd mod, or at-least Ego batteries? I hope you do! If you do-not, I can show u where u can get a mod for under 5 bucks right now. Now then- Please wait for a few more opinions b4 tossing the CF4, okay? I may be wrong, but from everything you've said thus-far, and since the coolfire4 is an internal-battery mod with no way of exchanging the battery, it's not lookin good. You may want to Youtube/Google "change coolfire4 internal battery" to see if any modders have found it easy to change the internal battery for a new one with the same specs. Occassionally, an internal battery mod such as your Coolfire4, will have an internal battery so easy to exchange, that there is abundant info on the internet on how to change it out for a brand-new LiPo battery pack. check n see!
Otherwise... I'm afraid...
It may-be time for a new mod, my friend. I'm sorry.
But yes, this would-be considered a safety issue.

It looks like the Cool Fire IV is actually based on an 18650 -
It may not matter in your case, but if one is handy with a soldering iron, battery replacement/upgrade looks pretty easy.

This is NOT GOOD..
Have you tried changing the coil.
It sounds like that coil is built too low for the Coolfire4,
Or the battery is about to vent.
The Coolfire4 is only stable down to .3 ohm.
I live in the US, and I paid $40-50 for
IPV D2
Istick60tc
eVic VTC MINI
For similar $ you can get the Koopor Mini and others.
Then use 18650 external batteries. In them.
Those mods can fire 60+ watts.
I would recommend the Evic VTC Mini, as I own one, and enjoy it very much so. I can also recommend the Kanger Subox mini kit, complete with Subtank mini (1-of the more popular sub-ohm tanks on the market) The Subtank mini kit can be had for well under $60. If you are NOT into rebuilding, you can find the Subox NANO kit for $40 right now. (This "NANO" kit comes w/the same mod as the regular Subox kit, however, the NANO tank that comes in the kit does-not come with a rebuildable coil-head) The Subox NANO mod would be great & very low-cost, if you would-like to try 1-of the most popular tanks of today, & you dont rebuild.
If you do-not like the looks of the Evic Mini or the Subox by Kanger, I can definitely recommend the IPVD2, which is probably the MOST popular mod of late 2015. Everyone who's any1 has got one. These have a high wattage limit, and they seem to be built well, with good software inside. They're popular 4 a reason. Next on the list would-be the IPVD3, right? Plenty of people have this mod, as-well, and it's a well-built mod w/high w limit.
Next, I would recommend you have a look around. I mean, don't limit urself to our suggestions. There are plenty of mod choices out there right now. TOO MANY choices, to listen to people in a thread on a forum!! TRUST me, there may be a mod that speaks to you FAR MORE than anything we suggest.
For instance- There are bottom-fed mods (Like the REO) for less than 35-40 bucks, on Fasttech/other china sites. Are ya kidding me? If you haven't tried Bottom-feeding, this may-be your chance! and trust me when I say that bottom-fed mods are my faaavorite type of mod. It's dripping without having to drip, my friend. & the bottom-fed mods I speak of, on FT, come with a bottom-feed capable RDA in the below 40 dollar price-tag. I mean, ya really can't beat that. They're even pulling-in good reviews.
If Bottom-Fed Mods aren't for you, what-about a side-mounted tank mod? Have you seen these yet? There are plenty on the market... These mods allow you to screw the tank down adjacent to the mod, rather than on-top. This makes for an extremely SHORT mod. They fit in the palm of your hand! You can vape from them out in public (in-front of the grocery store, in-front of the mall, IN the mall- haha) & no1 will even SEE the mod. All that's visible is the little drip-tip poking up from between your fist! These side-mount tank mods R truly sexy.. I would LOVE one, if I had the dough to buy one.
There's also regulated tube mods. The Provari is only 75 bucks these days. IDK if you know anything about this mod, but it's basically the best-built mod you can buy, period. & it comes with 1yr warranty and the ability to send it in for repair, for the LIFE of the mod (or the life of the owner, lol) You cannot go wrong with the Provari. If it were to break, like what happened w/your Coolfire4, well-then, you could just send it in. (of-course, you would have-to purchase a set of AW 18650 batteries, and an 18650 battery charger (a total of around $25 in-addition to the $75 Provari itself, but, well-worth the price in terms of quality + warranty!)
For under $70 you have too many great options for me to list here... Check websites such-as: VaporBeast, VaporBank, VaporDNA, MyVaporStore (the last is my favorite site to order-from) and Fasttech. When searching thru Fasttech, use keywords like "Regulated Mod" if you want to look at electronic mods. Use keywords like "bottomfed" for BF mods. There's plenty of mods to choose-from on all 5 of these sites. I'm not even going to list any-more. Simply google "regulated mod e-cigarette" & you'll find plenty of US-sites. Good luck with your search for a new mod, and after this little hiccup, please ENJOY your vape journey!!
PS- I recommend googling "Your State + Vape Shop" to see if there's a shop selling mods in ur area... IDK what you're planning to do until you get that new mod, but I think I speak for everyone when I say: DON'T think-about using that Coolfire4 until you receive the new mod.... Dude, if that battery vents with that mod up-to your face, you could very-well wind-up losing a tooth. You could wind-up choking on a drip-tip, and if it's stainless-steel & you swallow it, it may wind-up causing issues in your GI-Tract. Not good. It could wind-up burning your palm/fist. It could even burn-down your home while on the charger. Esp if it is getting HOT while on that charger. PLEASE reconsider using that mod any-longer, and NEXT-DAY ship a NEW ONE! Better-yet, try to find a vape shop in your area, go there, and have them HELP YOU! I can see no better scenario than you heading to a vape-shop to be HELPED by the (hopefully) caring individuals whom work there... Please bro, do what you can to get a new mod ASAP and please don't use that thing.
Have a good one.

Why does it matter if the batteries are external or not? This sounds like a board issue.
I shouldn't have to explain this to critical thinkers.
A batteries are only good for a set number of recharges.
When a battery can't hold a charge mods with internal batteries is only good for a paperweight.
An external battery when the battery dies safely dispose of the battery install another and keep on vaping
The only time a mod with external batteries fails are.
1. The board fails
2. You drop the mod and damage the board
3. Possibly a battery vents.
4. If the FDA deeming regulations goes into effect you may not be able to buy a mod later.
If it is less than 90 days old contact Innokin.
If it is more than 90 days old, not to kick a person when their device is down, but, that is one of the risks you take with built in battery power devices.

I think a little bear said something like that above and was laughed at for saying something that silly.
