Hello everyone,
I'm a new member here.
I built a desktop and noticed the computer makes a squeaking or scratching noise, similar to someone grinding their teeth. Interestingly, my Asus Zenbook UX490 was also making the same sound. I've uploaded a short video of it on YouTube for reference.
Could you assist in identifying the source of the issue?

I suspect it might not be related to fan noise. One possibility is the power supply's coil, but I'm not entirely convinced.
My system has no HDD; I only have an M2 SSD.
Here are my PC specifications:
AMD Ryzen 7 7700x
Asrock B650I Lightning WiFi
Gainward GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Panther OC
Lexar NM790 1TB SSD
Corsair SF850L
Thank you!

Check either the power supply unit or the graphics card for coil whine. Open the side panel of the computer and place your ear there to pinpoint the source of the noise.
