computer making high pitched squealing noise

Motherboard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC., Z97-PRO GAMERĪntivirus: Avira Antivirus, Updated and EnabledĮdit: Changed PSU name to be more accurate Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960, -1 Mb Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690K CPU 3.50GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 60 Stepping 3 OS Version: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit

Tech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.2 I have a theory that high pitched sounds like the one I'm experiencing might be harder to hear depending on how old you are (Google 'Age-related hearing loss or presbyacusis' for the source). that the repair men can't seem to hear the sound. Side note: I've tried getting technical help but the problem is. Please try helping me troubleshoot the issue (or at the very least acknowledge that the sound exists so it doesn't feel like I'm going crazy.). I haven't done much with software related troubleshooting as I think it's a hardware problem but I'm open to suggestions. Replacing my HDD and running games on an SSD Here are the sound clips (YouTube was being stubborn) So, what this shows is that the sound only shows up when there's an intensive amount of work put on the CPU/GPU. Therefore, whenever WoW is minimized the weird sound isn't present. As for the background (Max Foreground FPS) FPS count, I've set it to only get a maximum of 8 FPS. When the application window is open, and in front, the FPS is around a 100 normally. To further support this I've used WoW as an example. The noise starts as soon as the game loads into something that I believe is putting some strain on the CPU and GPU.

Whenever I open a video game, be it something like Battlefield 4/1 or World of Warcraft, there is a 'screeching' white noise-ish sound that consistently emanates from my PC. I've been facing an issue with my PC for the past couple of months now. I do hope I'm posting this in the correct forum.
