GPU fans are making a new weird noise (not the usual under load)

So here is the thing. I have a 5700xt which I use to mine ETH since 8 months ago.
But it has starting to making a weird noise. The unusual thing is that the noise only happens when the fans are at a speed between 50% and 70%. If I put the fans at around 80% or even 100% it doesn't make THAT sound. I mean it makes the usual sound of the fans spinning too fast but not this new weird sound.
I suppose one of the fans is not working properly and I should replace it but what confuses me is why the sound only appears at that particular speed and not when is at low speed or the highest speed.
The noise is like the noise of a broken or old HDD

PS: i uploaded a file with the sound (the volume is a little low but it clearly shows the two sounds ( the usual noise of the fans spinning and the new sound))

Could it just be that it is the PWM that makes the sound?

Hi, thanks for your answer. I just uploaded the noise, maybe you can hear it.

Do you mean the PWM cable?
