Windows 10: SSD Sound

I have a crucial CT500MX500SSD1 and have it installed for a good while...months.
Recently I took the sides off my tower to mess with a HDD. Basically I unplugged it because I think it is failing and I want to preserve before I do a backup.

I have since noticed an electrical buzzing (i am hyper-sensitive to sound, my wife thinks i'm crazy. "do you hear that?" "hear what" "that buzzing..." "no" "you don't hear that?????"

anyway its a rhythmical buzzing. I have opened task manager and noticed that this drive (I have 1 more SSD and a HDD) is making the sound whenever it's accessed which is pretty much constantly. TM shows write/read and the drive buzzes. It is not a physical sound it sounds electrical. Not shorting out...

Could this be the drive itself? I have never had a SSD go bad on me.
Crucial self-test says it's in good health.

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

 

Sound Quality

One thing that sticks out from looking at your "My Computer" specs. You list "ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)" which suggests you do not have the correct sound hardware driver. Your motherboard has Realtek sound and the first step is to install the Realtek sound drivers. My ASUS also came with Sonic Studio 2 which is a sound enhancement package. Check the ASUS install disc to see if you have something similar.

May not be a speaker problem.
