It continues to buzz, making me anxious. I'm unsure where the noise is originating from. I attempted to silence all fans and checked the source, but it didn't stop. I attached an audio file of the sound for reference; you won't hear it in this post, though it produces a faint squeak just before the buzzing. The buzzing occasionally pauses or becomes less intense, but the squeaks always follow in the same order as the buzzing peaks. I would value any advice on resolving this or identifying the source. I think the GPU might be involved, but I'm not certain. For more details, you can review the parts list here: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/w7ng34 componger.mp3

It might be the power supply unit fan. Try opening the side panel and moving it around to locate the loudest noise.

I cannot tell for the life of me. I tried listening for it but I just can't tell if it's louder or not. Also it conveniently got a lot less frequent right now so I had to wait a while to even hear it. There's certainly not anything blocking the psu fan. But there is noticeable static noise coming from it so it very well could be a bit faulty.

Use a paper towel cardboard tube, hold it near each section and place the other end at your ear—it will produce a strong sound when you put it on the right spot.

It appears the issue originates from the GPU. The noise ceases when I shut down the GPU fans, likely because they weren’t turned off correctly beforehand. However, the continuous chirping or squeaking persists even without fan operation.

Possible issue might be coil whine.
