When sharing a troubleshooting thread, it's important to provide complete system details. List your specifications in the following format:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
Also include the age of the PSU, along with its make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this time.
After that, recreate the same clip but with clear lighting to help identify the source of the issue.
One approach is to use an A4 sheet rolled into a cylinder, holding one end near your ear and listening for the noise.
I believe the sound you're hearing comes from your GPU while playing Helldivers—possibly coil whine. You might detect it in any part of your PSU that handles power delivery, especially the VRM sections. I've also noticed similar behavior on some GPUs (first observed with a Sapphire Nitro+ RX6700XT Gaming OC 12GB) when running Call of Duty (the latest version). Do you notice this only during that specific game?
