Hi,
Please watch the videos and can someone help pinpoint what these noises are. They arent fans rubbing together and they seem to happen more during idle or web browsing.

captured the sounds

Is it a mild clicking (I could barely hear it)? Does the noise persist when the fans aren't moving?

I opened up the case and nothing with the fans changed it just happens when they are at a constant speed. I use cooler masters built in fan control. Turn up the volume as my capture wasn't very good. Sorry

So you're sure that the fans are making the noise?

100% I put my ear by the main fans and it didn't sound like it. I use the fan controller and they didn't speed up or slow. It's not around the CPU area it's more around the hard drive ssd area. It happens a lot at idle or during web browsing.

It sounds like something engaging to me lie a hard drive. A similar sound is made when I press the power button it makes a similar sound just as everything is shutting down.
