Wow, hard to say. I tried turning up the volume but it sounded really strange, might have been getting some echo. There are only so many things that create noise, most of them moving parts. Things to check would be hard drive if using a mechanical hard disk, cd/dvd drive if you have one installed (may be trying to read a disc), cpu cooler/fan depending what type of cooler you're using. Also check the gpu fan and power supply fan.

It might help if you have something like a tube from a roll of paper towels or similar and the side panel removed. Place one end near your ear and carefully move the other end from one component to another to help isolate the area where the noise is originating from. Listen to each case fan, one may be...

Place one end near your ear and carefully move the other end from one component to another to help isolate the area where the noise is originating from. Listen to each case fan, one may be creating bearing noise. Also lightly press your fingers against the metal frame of the case or any plastic panels and see if that quiets things down.

If using a mechanical drive the small vibration from it spinning can sometimes move through the case and cause drive trays or panels to buzz. Those type of vibrations can magnify the 'buzzing' and make it sound different or much louder than it really is.

Hi thanks for your reply I really appreciate it.
I used the paper tube trick you suggested and i think one of my HHD's doing his best. After i unplugged it the sound stopped.
It's either dying on me or just as you said the panel magnified the buzz coming from it.
