Humming Noice coming from inside Computer

[Codelyoko373]

I'm not sure how long this has been going on for but there is basically this faint humming noise from my computer that can only really be heard from one side of the computer. I believe it's coming from my harddrive but it's quite hard to tell. I've checked the CrystalDiskInfo software and there doesn't seem to be any problems with my harddrive.

I mean the humming noise doesn't seem to result in any problems, it's just the fact it's there and I'm not sure why. Does anyone have any idea what it may be?

Specs please. Most likely humming is attributed to coil whine, and that can be a result of cheap parts. If you list your system components then we can diagnose the problem.

I have an old Seagate HDD which vibrated like a lawnmower, still worked fine for about 10 years almost 24/7 until I retired it. I never expected it to outlive its useful life. Vibrations may not be ideal but they don't necessarily mean trouble.

What I think it may be actually is my new graphics card that I put in, it's quite a old and cheap one:

The humming doesn't annoy me, it's just the fact it's there and I'm just wondering if I should worry about it

Just like a dentist can't tell what's wrong with ya teeth until ya open ya mouth ... and a mechanic needs to open the hood, ya have to take the side panels off. If you can't narrow down where the noise is coming from at that point, try disconnecting things ... like a HD if you are booting of an SSD. If still no luck, then grab a cardboard tube from the inside of a roll of paper towels, or roll up so paper and holding one end to your ear put the other end at the location of the various components. Once you identify the component, diagnosing the problem gets much easier.
