I notice a humming noise from my RAM space. It might be the motherboard coil whining, but could loose RAM cause this sound too. System functions normally otherwise. Interestingly, the noise gets louder when I move my mouse or search online.

The term "loose RAM" doesn't exist. It likely means the RAM is correctly seated or not properly aligned.

If you're concerned, consider replacing your RAM. I do this regularly on my older system, as it would cause strange errors or crashes until I did this. My Ryzen model doesn't experience this problem, which is good news.

It seems more related to coil whine, likely originating from the PSU, GPU, or motherboard VRM.
