You might be hearing the coil/capacitor whine when the CPU/GPU has a surge of activity and suddenly pulls more power.
Back in the day, on some computers, you could hear when someone was dragging a window across the screen. The larger the area being repainted, the louder the noise.
I've noticed this happening when i get really really high FPS in a game. Like running something from 1998 on a modern system and hitting over 1000 FPS.
Now I have my framerate capped externally so I'm not wasting power rendering thousands of frames for no reason.
