Beeping/Scratching (?) Noise coming from my tower and not sure what it is

[moneynmusic]

Just noticed over the last two days this noise has started coming from my tower. I haven't moved it or added anything new to my setup recently so I'm not not sure what this noise is. 

 

I've tried unplugging and replugging all my peripherals but that didn't work so I wanted to see if anyone can think of what it might be before I open it up and take it apart. I'm guessing it's maybe a fan. 

 

Warning, you'll have to turn your volume up to hear the beeping in the video. This beeping comes and goes pretty frequently.

I assume you mean the tick-tick tick-tick tick-tick sound, almost like a heart beat?

My guess is an inductor, and there aren't many remedy to that.

Do you have any hard drives? It could be one that's beginning to fail. You could try taking the side panel off and putting your ear near the drive to see if it's the thing making noise.

Forgot to mention that I don't have any hard drives, just two ssds. I did end up taking off the side panel to try to listen even closer but soon as I did that the noise stopped and hasnt come back.

Yep, that's the noise. It did end up going away soon after I posted this so guess I'll see if it comes back.

I suspect so be came inductor can have that kind of tick due to power is at 60hz

It’s gotta be fans 

If its the fans, OP can try stop a fan by their finger and see if the noise is till there.

It is possiable it's fans but usually it's louder, continuous, or only happen when PC starts up then disappear..
