There are only a few moving parts on a PC. The power supply, the fans and the hard drive. That being said check your temperatures, check your hard drive for errors since this is an indication of a failing hard drive and make sure your fans are clear of obstructions. The power supply will go out if it is bad.

I know this is the second time I'm writing about this on this forum, but this time, apart from the regular clanking noises I get from running games, I'm also occasionally getting clicking noises and grinding noises from my pc, no matter what state the pc is in.You have a wire rubbing up against a fan some were. Open it up and turn it on. Then locate were the noise is coming from and see if a wire is stuck in a fan.
Te other thing is you may have a fan that is going bad. If the bearing wears out it will make a grinding noise that sounds like this...

all these theory's are possible even likely , only way to know for sure is to take the side panel off your case and listen for where the noise is coming from to determine the cause of the noiseI agree.
Something to be aware of though when exploring to pinpoint problem/s is:
Clicking and grinding noise brings back bad memories of quickly failing hard drives.
Clanking is nearly always fan related.

I wanted you to do this so you know where to unplug the fan later to remove it.
watch this video , it will show you how to remove the rear fan and how to put a new one into the case , it is very easy to do,

make sure to turn off your computer before you attempt this and or turn off the switch on the the back of your power supply.
i personally would not use the rubber mounts he used in the video i would just put screws back into the new fan , they screw into the plastic like wood screws , this is normal
when you unplug the fan and remove the fan screws and take it out of the case you need to measure how big the fan is from side to side that is the frame outside to outside it will be either 80mm , 92mm ,120mm or 140mm
when you know this you can order a new one or simply take the old one to a computer store and ask them for one the same size , screw the new one back in the case making sure the air is blowing out of the case not into the case , if you are not sure which way it goes spin the fan with your finger and feel which way the air blows. once you have it screwed in simply plug it back into the motherboard where you unplugged the old one and you are good to go

Best solution
Replace this at your leasure now that you know what was making the noise ,
If you took it in for repair they would charge you a lot of money for a fan that is cheap to buy and a ten minute fix.
I hope this has helped you
Hopefully soon you should soon be enjoying a nice quiet fan and get some sanity back with peace and quiet instead of that annoying noise
