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

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

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

SSDs have no moving parts, it is impossible for an SSD to make a noise to my knowledge. I'm pretty sure it has to be some other part in your system, maybe it's coil whine on your PSU?

It could also be his HD writing something, since he's updating.
Or Coil whine on the PSU

^ 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.

They have big VRMs though. It's probs the GPU or Mobo.
