Describe the problem

strange pc noise

What have you tried?

none

Current antivirus and security software

bitdefender

From time to time I hear a strange noise coming from my PC. I’m not sure what causes it, but it might be a faulty fan. Restarting the PC always fixes it. If someone know what it is please leave a message here thx.

Based on your description and the sound in the link, it does seem like a fan issue. It could be due to dust accumulation or fan bearings wearing out. Cleaning or replacing the fan should help.

The one's that will make noise are the one with movable parts. And those are the mechanical HDD, Fans for out/intake, GPU Fan and CPU Fan.

No download. The mobile code (.mp3) executes in the browser.

No malicious code in the HTML.

Sounds like fan.

At first check, what are fan speeds when it occurs, then what are they after restart for comparison.
I had once noise caused by a loose fan clip, when the fan was too fast, it was causing rattling.

As above cables near a fan or just vibrating on the case, or a certain fan speed that resonates, could be the fan in the PSU?
