it's probably just the semiconductors singing. semiconductors, including microprocessors do often make a sound that varies with what they are doing. frankly, i'd be surprised if it was a power supply in any case. at the same time, people describe sounds very differently and it's always hard to know what sound someone else is talking about without hearing it youself. if it always happens doing the same things with the same program, it's definately the electronics singing. at the same time it is possible that you have very, very bad power. do lights flicker or change intensity? to you get odd noises on tv sets or the radio? there are many, many things that can make different sounds and it's very, very hard to know what kind of noise you are talking about even if you do try to describe it well. if you could record it and post it somewhere that would really, really help. otherwise, don't worry about it, if something is failing you'll know soon. you might make sure it's not coming from the hard drive (which can make an incredible variety of sounds both working properly and dying) just to make sure you aren't going to lose files, but then again backing up anything important is always a good idea.
