Hello, my PC was built six years ago without any big problems. Recently, I’ve been noticing unusual noises coming from it. It sounds like it’s repeating "V V V" continuously, sometimes stopping and restarting randomly. I’m unsure what might be causing this. I haven’t heard such a sound before, and I cleaned the dust only recently.

Which component of the computer produces the sound? What are the specifications of the PC, particularly the power supply unit? Have you made any modifications to the hardware?

I can't pinpoint the exact source of the noise. It seems to be coming from somewhere inside the device.
No hardware modifications were made.
System details: i9-9900K, EVGA Nvidia RTX2080Ti FTW3 Ultra, Corsair AX1600i, Be Quiet! Dark Base Pro 900.
The unusual sound has stopped about five minutes ago.

It may be due to some resonance from fans. If they reach specific RPMs, they can generate vibrations our ears detect. If it comes back, you might want to look inside for dust on the fan blades, though it’s unlikely you can pinpoint the exact source.
Edit - It could also be related to the PSU fan, but that one is much more difficult to check and should be avoided.
