Sounds like your fan is dirty. When is the last time you've cleaned it?
If you haven't cleaned it, you should buy a compressed air can and clean it out. Just open the case and blast the air into where the fan is. You'd be amazed how clogged they can get.
It could also be that your computer is overheating, so the fan is working too hard. Mine used to do this. I removed a side off of the case and it's totally silent now. Just got to be sure to clean it often now that dust can get in easily.

Open the pc and the screw up every loose device make sure no cable is touching the power, rear or processor fans as this could be the source of the noise. Screw up the casing too or those hard-drive bays are loose. Do it yo self its easy

dust or dirt in one of your fans. Turn your computer off and open the case, with a soft brush (a child's paintbrush works well) clean all the fans thoroughly. If that doesn't help consider replacing the offending fan.

It is probably your cooling fan. When was the last time you shut it down? Shut it down and let it cool off and also get some that air in a can and clean the fan area of dust and any other dust you see.

You've got a blowout in damper 3.
Get your pitch to zero.
If your pitch is out and you can't hold altitude,first check the inboard down ports,they must be in the on position then make sure the circuit breakers are engaged.
If you ultimately do crash and burn don't worry they can rebuild you ,they have the technology.
You will be better than before,
better,stronger,faster.

It could be your computer's hard drive or possibly the power supply. Either piece could be on its way out.
