Hey everyone, I'm dealing with a weird noise from my PC. It sounds like one of the fans is speeding up and slowing down, almost like it's pulsating. I think it's coming from the area below my case, but I'm not sure if it's the PSU fan or the GPU fan making the noise. Should I be worried about this? Here's a link to the sound I'm talking about: https://youtube.com/shorts/S199Mk3obmM?si=Npojpbr9dDA8WFC-

It's tough to pinpoint just from the video, but it could be a faulty fan or something that’s causing vibrations inside your case. Try unplugging or disabling the other fans in your setup. If the noise persists, it might be the PSU making those sounds. Also, if you have any old mechanical hard drives, those can sometimes be noisy too.
I didn’t realize the recording wasn't great—sorry about that! I actually don't have any HDDs, so that’s ruled out. The only fans I can unplug are the exhaust and CPU fans, so I’ll give that a shot.
