Sounds like a busted fan, but since most PC's typically have three or more fans in the system you're gonna have to kinda try to hear which one it is.

that being said, pc fans are very well known for throwing sound. so it may be a good idea to disconnect one fan at a time

and see when the sound stops

You could unplug it and see if your PC still makes the noise. It's okay to run the PC for a couple seconds without the cooler and you will hear if that is the culprit.

Do you turn off your computer overnight?

You probably need to re-lubricate the bearings then.  When the bearings first start to go, it is not uncommon for them to make noise after not spinning for a while.  It will slowly get worse, and re lubricating them can extend the life of the fan.

That would be the more ideal solution.
