One of the fans inside the computer may be loose or need replacing. That's what it was when this happened to me.

May be the bearings in your power supply fan. There will be a covered opening on the back of your computer, most often near the top, with a fan inside (you should be able to feel the air-flow). If the noise is coming from inside there, that's most likely your problem.

Sounds like you are gonna need a new fan soon. Very user serviceable.

Definitely seems to be your fan struggling. Same sort of noise started on my laptop then not long after the fan died. Easily fixed though.
