Aurora R11, loud chirping noise

Question

Hello. After 2 months of ownership, I am hearing a constant squeaking noise from the power supply area. I spent an hour on the line w/ customer service and was told, "some systems have loud fans" and I was given no option to have the system looked at. Went through all of the tests that the rep advised multiple times.

Has anyone else experienced this? Possibly a bad fan bearing? The inside is clean and free from dust.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bad fan bearings in Dell PS often sound like a Geiger counter, but I suppose it could squeak like that also.

while machine is off, remove cover and verify exact component making noise as that will save everyone much time and trouble. It could be several different (moving part) things.

It was the power supply; I had a Dell tech come out and replace it. All seems well. Thank you all for your input!
