Hi Team
About 8 months after building my first PC, an odd noise began immediately when powering on the PC. It only happened occasionally and not for very long - so I ignored it. 14 months on, it's gotten worse: happens every time the PC is turned on, lasts a lot longer and the noise has changed. See two short clips below:

Troubleshooting: - I've opened the case and stopped each fan to see if it stopped the noise and no joy. - I can feel a vibration on components for each 'whir/buzz' sound but vibration is almost uniform throughout the case. Suspicions: - I suspect either the Radeon Sapphire GPU or the power supply but the fans on both aren't spinning on start-up so am not sure. This is my first PC build so not an expert in any way.
Thoughts?
