So, I have a pretty decent computer. Its able to handle just about anything I throw at it. Yet, strangely, when I play Titanfall it gets loud. This makes zero sense to me since Titanfall is not a very demanding game. I can play Evolve and Alien Isolation without any noticeable fan noise. But Titanfall seems to make the fans go nuts. Is there any reason for why this is? My old computer, which wasn't as good as this one, also made no noise when I played the game.

My specs:
CPU: AMD FX 8320
GPU: Saphire R290X 8GB
Memory:16 GB
 
Solution
If you don't have an aftermarket cooler on your FX-8320 I know where the sound is coming from.

The stock AMD cooler is flat-out loud.

Replace it with a custom 25-30 dollar aftermarket cooler and the loudness will be gone.
I dont play Titanfall but judging from

the 280x, model behind yours, is barely able to hit 60 fps.

Having said that your 290x may be pulling alot of wattage from the psu causing both to increase fan rpm.

Your older computer may not make much noise because it's graphics card may not pull as much power and your psu is able to handle the lower drain without making much noise.
