Annoying buzzing sounds from computer.

[PineFreshGuy]

Recently installed some new case fans. When I powered up my system and did some fan RPM tweaking I noticed that there is a really annoying buzzing sound coming from my PC. I initially thought it was coming from my new case fans, but after unplugging them I realised that it's actually coming from my SSD/HDD area. The sound may have been there before, but I guess I'm more sensitive to all sounds now because I'm listening out for how loud my new fans are.

 

Wondering if anyone else here has annoying buzzing sounds from their PC and if there's anything that I can do to avoid them?

AFAIK SSDs shouldn't make any sound, if you only have SSDs and no HDDs there might be a problem, if you have HDDs then it's probably that (though it shouldn't be that loud). Short of buying a new HDD there really isn't much else you can do besides mounting it using anti-vibration mounts if possible. If you have a power hungry GPU or a low spec power supply it could be coil whine but as you said it's from the SSD/HDD area it's probably not.
