Uhm, the CPU shouldn't make any noise at all, considering it has no moving parts. Is the noise coming from the heat sink? Please specify.

 

Also, you might want to turn down your speakers, and diagnose the problem. Update us on if it is a specific headphone port, all headphone ports, or it might just be the speakers. Test the speakers on other places, and see if the speakers are the problem. If not and if this continues you might want to buy a cheap sound card or DAC to move sound components away from the motherboard where there is a lot of 'noise'. This should fix the problem.

 

Sorry I can't help you a ton more, its hard to diagnose without a lot of information.

The noise from speakers is electronic interference with internal audio chip. You can reduce it by adjusting windows desktop volume to minimum and upping volume on software and speaker side. Or you can get either internal or external DAC/audio card.

 

As for the other noise, please be more specific. Is it humming, high pitched whine, rattle, scratching etc.? It isn't the CPU but it might be mobo (some other threads suggesting coil whine in lower end caps). But most likely its some fan, drive or GPU/PSU.
