annoying noise in my monitor

[Giggy]

This started a few months ago.
whenever my PC is turned on, the machine would give off this annoying wiring noise till I beat the damn monitor to heck to stop the noise (PC still works)
how the heck do I get rid of this annoying wiring! its starting right now too!
It sounds like its near the drives

Edit: I think its a fan problem because it sounds like a fan

Why would you beat the monitor to fix a tower problem?

[J. M. Pescado]

Because he's a dumb 12 year old. Obviously he should be hitting the tower.

Rules when dealing with a computer,

#1. DO NOT HIT THE COMPUTER!
#2. DO NOT BITE THE COMPUTER!
#3. DO NOT PLEAD WITH THE COMPUTER!
#4. DO NOT BRIBE THE COMPUTER WITH SEXUAL ADVANCEMENTS!

If you follow these rules, you're computer will be fixed.

If you do one of the above, then you should now stand up and hit your head against the wall until you see stars, and or die, in that order. Honestly, if there is something wrong with your comp, find out what is wrong and fix it. A computer does not learn from physical abuse (unlike children, aunts, beagles); it just makes the problem worst or causes the computer to quit working.

Solution to your problem. Is it the tower vibrating? Does it stop when you firmly put your hand on top of the tower (WITHOUT HITTING IT) and press down to prevent any vibrations? Yes, put a book on top of the tower; no? Something is loose or (likely and in your situation) damaged and needs replaced.

*Sigh* Honestly, dumb people, children, and beagles make me wonder where the nearest wicker handbasket to hell is so I can stuff them into it.

Actually, *DO* hit the computer. Percussive maintenance has an ancient and honorable tradition and can often resolve issues like loose contacts, misaligned fans, rattling parts, etc. A good thump is often what it needs to be fixed. And if it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyway.

[ThyGuy]

That is frightening, but brilliant obvious solution.

Annoying noises are usually fans going bad that need replacement. CPU, power supply, or the video card are the likely suspects.

My old computer used to sound like a coffee grinder at times.

This is how we fix things on RUSSIAN SPACE STATION!

[Giggy]

to be truthful its not rattling its just like one of those fan noises, next time I'll leave it to be.
I might get the fans replaced sometime later, I haven't got the money to replace things right now.
Stupid fans

[miros]

Fans are only like $10.  You might want to look at it and see if it's full of dust and crud.   If so, turn off the puter and pick some of it out through the grill.  Shouldn't even need to open the case.

My sister's computer was launching like an aircraft, if she turned it on at night, I could hear the fan from upstairs. And as it was a year-old dell, we were afraid to open it up and break the sticker, losing our guarantee. So I told her to stop hitting it and vacuum the fans from whatever cavity she could find in the tower and it worked! The dust must be sifted to somewhere else in the tower though, I can't imagine such powerful suction!

In my case (in my computer) I found out that one of the extra cables from the power unit was touching the cpu fan, and that was making a terrible rattling noise- easily fixed. And one time, I had left the side cover of the tower not completely locked into place, and it was rattling soo bad. That was easy too. I keep my fans very clean too.

I have an old hard disk that makes an annoying churning sound sometimes.  A light thump on the side of the cabinet makes it stop.
Don't underestimate the value of a good thump.

In fact, my comouter responds very well to abuse.  I have an on-board network card that would not activate, no matter what I did to it in bios and windoze, in the end I gave up and put in an old card.  Two months later the main fuse on our floor blew and when the computer booted back up; lo and behold; there was the network card.

[J. M. Pescado]

If your hard drive is making funny noises, this tends to be the sign of impending failure. I advise against putting anything valuable there. In fact, if your hard drive is making funny noises while NEW, bitch at the manufacturer right away while it's still under warranty.

[Gwill]

It's an old disk.  I don't have anything important on it, it's just where I store my temporary swag and install files.
My new disk is nice and quiet.  I never throw away a disk unless it goes tick-tick-tick and don't read data, there's always some unimportant shit you can put on it.

Ok, so I've opened my pc up and saw no wires on the fans,
I'd turned it on, noise is there, I heard the noise near my sound, internet and Graphics card, I've touched the edge of the graphics card and noticed that its vibrating while the others are not.
I think I might need a new graphics card or something, I think the graphic cards fan isn't working

[blubug]

In my old pc, I had a loose graphics card, took me a month before I figured out that was the problem. And me hitting the computer every time it rattled only made things worse (although it was temporarily quiet). Then had to get a new graphics card because my sister opened up the case and jammed the card in its slot every time it rattled, thus causing the connection parts to bend and become even more loose. She was only 11 then, and pretty angry at the pc, so I don't blame her. But anyway, if you're not that far ahead yet, maybe you should take it out and put it back in (keeping the computer off while you're doing it , and only if you know what you're doing.)

Maybe if it's a graphics card fan problem, you could reconnect the power cable of that fan. (When I first got my new card, it was the first time I saw a fan on a graphics card and didn't know I had to connect separate power cables to it. I should've looked at the manual much more carefully )
