Good evening,
I'm trying to figure out the noise coming from my PSU, but it doesn't sound like the coil whine I've seen in other videos.

The information about the brand or model of the power supply unit is unclear since it isn't visible on the side.

not coil whine, that seems to indicate the fan is worn out or unbalanced because of dust accumulation. If you notice dust on the fan, you might attempt removing the PSU from the case and using compressed air to blow away the debris through the grill. This could improve performance, but if the unit is unbranded, it’s likely of low quality and replacing it would be a better option.

Sure, I'll give it a shot to clean it out.
I believe the issue is that the noise is louder near the PSU instead of the back fan.
