Default Locating high pitch noise from PC power supply.

There's often a tiny stand-by power supply that's always on. It's the
tiny transformer near the power plug. Putting a lot of spray varnish
on it may help.

BTW you'd better replace the fan pronto. PS's will run without it but
the extra heat will eventually shorten its life.
