So I just got my new computer built and it sometimes whenever I'm playing a game it will make a chirp and then pause and then chirp again. It literally sounds exactly like a cricket. It does it at random but most the time whenever it does it, it does two chirps. Chirrrrrp pause chirrrrp. it sounds like a cricket to me but maybe a buzzzzz pause buzzzz to someone else. And it's not loud. And it's funny because my other computer does it as well but I can't figure out where it's coming from. What's the odds of them both doing it? Can anyone help me figure this out.

The only thing that should be making noise like this loud enough for you to hear are the fans. I have a similar problem where one of my cooling fans makes a slight vibration noise, and I can see where it could sound like a cricket.
It got worse over time and I've pin pointed which one it is. For a temp solution I just make it run >1200 rpm and it spins fast enough to not make noise.
Most motherboards can give you a fan control of some sort, see if that might be an issue. Depending on the speed the fans are spinning with a certain pressure could cause them to rub slightly for a short time.
