HP Pavilion Making Noise?

Hey so I have a friends HP Pavilion notebook on my hands and as soon as I opened it up at home I found that there is an odd noise coming from it. I'm fairly certain that it isn't an issue with the fan as I didn't hear any peculiarities coming from that region. The noise is something similar (in my opinion) to a bad connection causing electric signals to jump from wire to wire (obviously this isn't what is happening [i hope]). It seems that I hear this noise when I'm around old computers which is odd because this computer is new as of 4 months ago.

 

If anyone has any guess as to what this sound may be, please let me know.

 

Thanks

I can smell you

Some kind of coil whine? My grandma's HP has an issue with the RAM that makes it sound like it has coil whine.

Reseat the RAM maybe? Does it happen when using a certain program that taxes the cpu or graphics card? Or something that is very drive intensive? Can you get it on video or something? The more info the better...

It happens when it powers up and continues to happen until I either close it or shut it down. It seems to correlate with a light on the side of the computer that I think is indicating hard drive (it is a picture of three disks on top of each other)
