Loud buzzing sound...
So I built this rig a couple months ago and everything has gone accordingly. However, today I turn it on to find a loud buzzing sound coming from what sounds to be the front of my case, possibly a fan or the hard drive. Everything is running fine, and I've never heard this buzzing sound before... any ideas?

Could be a wire hitting a spinning fan, or maybe a fan that isn't tightened down all the way (either initially, or it's worked its way loose).

I think it's my Hard drive actually... When I shut it down, I can hear it power down, and it continues longer than it takes my fans to stop. I opened it up and moved some wires around thinking maybe one of them was hitting my hard drive. I booted it up and it was gone, but it just came back. It's not as loud this time but it's there again

Run hard drive diagnostics if it's coming from the hard drive.

Well I took out the rack and checked out the screws. Two of the screws were able to come out just with my fingers, aka they weren't very tight at all. It is no longer making the sound, so I suspect it may have been loose screws. Then again, I'm still hearing it the sound... but when I put my ear up to where it was coming from before, all I hear is my fans. I'm thinking now it might be one of those sounds I just hear in my head and it's going to haunt me for a couple days. Or maybe it really is still there... I can't tell
