Is This Sound Normal?

[BabyPCMR]

I'm hearing this very faint clicking sound. It's clicking in a pattern. Just built the PC today, so it's not that this just randomly started happening. Is it normal? What's causing the sound?

 

Thanks for your input!

normal no, my pc makes no fans except for my fans. only sound thats "normal" is coil whine. it doesn't effect anything but its annoying.

 

as for you. make sure no cables are hitting your fans it could be that. or your HDD could be making it,

HDDS are typically loud. It either that or a fan that's on its way out. The berasing in the hub do die..... unplug the HDD and see if you can still hear it and then just unplug the fan's aside from one. (Whooo 900th post)

Could it potentially be the PSU changing voltages over and over. The HDD is brand new, so I'm hoping it's not it haha.

It's unlikely.  It's proberbly the head moving on the platters which is normal. If it gets louder and transfer speeds get slower then the drive is on its way out.
