Hi! It sounds like your GPU is producing coil whine during everyday tasks. Undervolting is a common solution and might help reduce those noises. Let me know if you'd like more details on how to proceed. Thanks!

Fixing coil whine isn't always possible. Sometimes opening the card can help by better separating capacitors, but this isn't advised for new cards. What worked for me was turning off hardware acceleration in the browser and tweaking the system's fan curve. If your fans are set to stop, you'll notice more noise from all the moving parts. Also, the sound might come from the power supply or motherboard due to extra load. On older, warranty-free cards with simpler designs, you could try finding the source by listening and using hot glue to isolate parts. Undervolting might not help and could make things worse. How noticeable is it when the side panel is closed? You might need to slightly increase fan speed to mask the noise.
