Today I noticed that when I start a game that is GPU heavy enough for my fans to kick in a little audibly, there is a constant high pitched noise that changes its pitch relative to my current mouse position in game. If I move left and right it goes lower then higher in pitch, if I hold still it stays the same. So it definitely isn't a standard coil whine or SSD noise, since it correlates directly to my mouse position in game. I don't hear this noise outside of games and prior to today I have not noticed it. Again, it is pretty loud, so I think I would have noticed. I'll give you a bit of information on my PC system now.
My PC consists of an i5-10400F, an RX580 and two SSDs. I recently bought a new SSD (WD Black SN770) and migrated my OS to it. Before then I didn't notice this issue. Only after installing the new SSD. This obviously leads me to believe that the SSD could be the causing factor here, but I have never heard of anything, nor found anything online, that resembles my problem, being caused by an SSD. Also, other SSD intensive tasks without involving the GPU don't create the noise.
My question is, if anybody knows what could cause this issue and which component of my PC is responsible for it. Should be either the SSD or the GPU, but I'm not sure.
Thanks for anybody, who'll decide to help me with this. I tried to solve it by switching the SSD Ports and removing, then reinstalling the GPU already, but so far nothing has worked.
