Now you know to look at the parts with fans and spinning parts. No one can tell you which one over a forum but I can reduce it to the parts that produce noise.
You can also inspect for any discoloration of cables and boards.
Did you watch my pics? I said a weird sound. Not something in movement. The sound is like when you open a coka cola the « psss ». And it smell burning.
Sound by definition is movement (vibration) of air. And air can only move if some force moves it. That can be a hurricane, or you blowing a whistle, a spinning fan, or water vapor expanding from heat, or CO2 escaping, or somthing in a defective condensator or transformator.
I'd buy a new motherboard.
It has its limits as to diagnosis. For example it can't give me 3D sound so I can't turn my head to see if it is coming from here or there. You have all the advantage here and will be frustrated with this method of troubleshooting.
For this you may have to swap the suspect part and see if it cures it.
Tip from a wise friend. "Replace the cheapest (suspect) part first."
