Hahaha. Oh wait, funny as in strange? I get you.

 

 

 

Dodgy case or psu fan perhaps? Apart from that the only other thing it could be is the hard drive as you said.

 

 

 

eh, i think ill open it up again sometime soon, take the power supply out and check the fans.. and get shocked XD crazy capacitors.. might be the case, never thought of that...

 

 

 

my case is hard to get on after its been off, so maby its vibrating with the fan or the movement of something.

Definately sounds like a vibration of some sort.

 

 

 

Can't say I've heard that before though.

 

 

 

Clean your fans properly (best thing for it, is canned air).

 

 

 

Maybe try running your computer with the hardrive hanging out the side, if the noise is coming from the hardrive you should hear it better.

 

 

 

Can't really say much more than that.

 

 

 

Have you made sure your optical drives are operating properly?

Unplug the hard drive and start the computer. If you still hear it, then it's not the hard drive.

 

 

 

I was thinking it could be a case fan. Make sure there are tight against the case. Make sure no wires are hitting them while there on.

It's definately a fan issue. Take all your fans off, clean them and put them back. It could be a dust trap. Also, take one fan out, boot up your computer... then if it still whirs, put that one back in and take another out.. Untill you've done it with all of them. You're bound to come across it.

It could just be one of the ball bearings... if thats the case, just wait it out. It usually happens in newer rigs.

 

 

 

XD new rig.. ya right, this thing is from 99'

 

 

 

as for wating it out, its been doing this for months..

 

 

 

on-and-off... sometimes it makes sounds.. sometimes it doesnt

 

 

 

like right now, its making a gentle buzzing sound, but other times it sound like what i recorded.
