Watch this video for additional details.
I didn’t add it to the GPU forum since I’m unsure whether it’s from the GPU or the fan nearby.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Take a sheet of A4 paper and roll it into a cylinder, place one end near your ear while holding the other to detect the sound source. It resembles a fan's bearing failing.
Also, observe the drive activity LED on your case if it matches the noise.
