You may have a thermostatically controlled fan in there. As the heat inside rises, so does the RPM of the fan. Try running the PC with the case open for a while and try to pinpoint the exact location of the noise when it occurs.

What kind of loud are we talking?

Loud humming...or more of a grinding?
