Hi everyone, would appreciate a bit of advice regarding a noise coming from my computer. I've attached a vocaro link so you can have a listen. This noise happens on startup/boot and generally gets quieter although not completely going away after a few minutes of the computer being on. The audio clip was recorded with my phone at the back of the case next to the PSU. I am not sure if it's actually coming from there, I can kind of hear it all around the case. But I wondered if it could be the PSU because I have read the brand (Gamemax) has a lot of bad reviews and isn't recommended.
My system specifics are
Motherboard: ASRock B760M-H/M.2
PSU: Gamemax Rampage 700W 80+ Bronze
CPU: Intel Core i5 12400 (Alder Lake-S)
Graphics Card: Nvidia RTX 4060 ti
32GB RAM
Windows 11 Home
I use the system for web browsing and gaming, mostly old games from like the 2000's and 2010's but also World Of Warcraft which I have on low graphics settings, so I don't think it's being put under a lot of strain.

I've come here to check whether it's likely coil whine or something more serious. I'm a bit of a newbie to computer hardware but I've been reading coil whine is like a lottery and you can have two identical systems where one is really quiet and the other really loud? If I've just been unlucky got one that's a bit noisy, I don't mind. Because I can't really hear it when I'm sitting at the computer, I had to go under the desk and hold my phone up to the case to record that. But I just want to check in case it's possibly something else, I have heard people warn about arcing and other things that might cause issues. If you could have a listen to the vocaro and let me know what you think it is, would be appreciated. Warning in advance in case you put the volume to max, there's a sudden loud clunking noise at 27 seconds. That's just me moving around, not a noise from PC.
