I dont think its your SSD. Its probably coil whine from your motherboard or GPU.

Are you 100% sure it's your SSD? I've never heard of an SSD doing this (is it even possible?).

I don't think it is possible, since a SSD has no moving parts(or speakers) in it.

^ This. It might be a fan in the case, the GPU might've had something happen to it, or even the PSU fan is messing up.. SSDs have nothing in them to make noise.. A HDD can make a cricket noise or something similar, but I doubt that it can squeal...

No moving parts or speaker necessary. Graphics cards are prime candidates for coil wine and it's not the fan that causes it.
