[SOLVED] Computer Emitting Some Whistle Sound

My computer has been emitting some low whistle sound lately. Driving me crazy.

Can you localize where the sounds are coming from? Fans? PSU? GPU?

Is it coming from the audio output or from the PC itself?

I can not localize it. I do not have a GPU and just a CPU fan

First, see if it is the fans by having them spinning and stick your finger in gently (kinda unorthodox but it works). If the humming stops, it's that fan.

It's possibly a fan, either it's getting old or it's too dusty. Check to see how dusty the interior of your computer it. If it's really dusty get an air duster can to remove the dust.

Can it be a sign that the computer is failing?

Depends where the sound is coming from. If it is from a fan, no. If it is from a hard drive and it's quite loud, it could be a sign that it is broken, or it is just a noisy HDD.
