Hi, recently I started to hear strange sound from my CPU i5-6500, sound is similar like old printers ( matrix printers ), or like static electricity. Is that normal? I am sure its from CPU ( or that area), I checked several times Any advice I would appreciate.

My specs:
CPU: i5-6500 3.2Ghz
MOBO: MSI H110M PRO-D
RAM: 2x8gb Kingston DDR4 2133Mhz
GPU: Asus GTX1060 6GB OC DUAL FAN
PSU: Thermaltake Smart SE 630W SPS-630M (modular)
PC CASE: NZXT GUARDIAN 921RB

Look up "coil whine" on youtube and see if that's the sound its making. If it is that's just bad luck, you can't really fix that. Although it shouldn't cause problems other than being annoying.
