A Sort of Humming from Video Card
At first I thought it was a broken fan making the noise, but then i opened up my case and discovered that my video card was producing the noise. I have a GeForce FX 5500 128mb card, basically all I run is WinXP Pro and World of Warcraft. Its never happened before, but seemed to start today. All specifications on my computer meet the requirments for World of Warcraft aswell as everything else that I do. The humming is not all the time, sometimes its humming, sometimes its not.. it stops and goes even when im doing the same process on screen. Any help to stop this noise would be appreciated, and the quicker may be best if running it is a hazard to my computer. Thank you!

Yeah, I agree - sounds like the fan on your graphics card could be failing.
