"ping" sound coming from inside computer?

[Keliptic]

Hey, I've noted in the past few months my PC would something make a "ping" sound, similar to if you pressed on the plastic of the case, I'm really not sure what is making it, it might just be the cold making the plastic tighten? i've tried to check inside and wait for the sound but it can be hours between each time i heard it, the PC works fine apart from this.


heres my specs:-

i7 2600k sandy bridge
R9 290
16gb Corsair 1600mhz ram
x2 Corsair SSD 240gb
1 TB Seagate? drive
asus p8z68-v pro
Corsair 850w Gold PSU

I've managed to record the sound with my phone resting on the case :

Any help is very welcome, as I've just had to replace the GPU (the sound happened before this) on this PC so I'm really paranoid atm :>


Thanks Keliptic.

Edit: I should add that its no where near as loud as it sounds here, its because my phone was right on the case.
