    That sound is from the fan inside your computer.

    You might need to clean out the dust from your computer or even get a new fan:

    Probably the fan, and the compartment it's in is a bit looser than normal and making the case vibrate. Try pressing down on the back of your computer when it's turned on (making sure you don't press a button or dislodge any cables). If the noise lessens or stops, then that's probably it.

    Either that or you have a wasp nest.

    It is a build up of dust inside your computer. Take it to Staples and they will clean it for $10.00. My was making a loud humming noise and I took it there the computer fan was so dusty it could not turn. After they cleaned it the noise went away
