I have an issue with a sound my motherboard is making during general computation. I've recorded a sound clip of it. You can distinctly hear the sounds of my mouse clicking, and scrolling, and my keyboard key presses, as well as my CPU fan and exhaust fan whir. The noise I am particularly trying to pinpoint is the grinding noise that happens every so often. I have no hard disk drives installed, and no graphics card either. Just the cpu exhaust fans, and the SSD. I ruled the SSD out after listening to it next to my ear and carefully listening to the fans as well.It sounds almost like a hard drive scanning for data but I do not have a hard disc installed and there is not a compact disc drive either. Only rotating parts are the fan. Can anyone point me in the direction as to what this may be?
My build:

OEM fans,

Link to audio recording of described sound (sound can be caused by scrolling and typing, or watching videos so please ignore the general user sounds and focus on the strange grinding noise that happens a few times in the clip)

Again, I may not be posting this to the proper forum but I didn't know if this should go under mobo or components.
