Game intro causing computer noise

In the intro of the game, the PC starts to emit a very strange noise, it's not coil whine and it doesn't happen in other games, only in apex legends, below is a video demonstrating the problem, does anyone else have the same problem?

  • @Fumonsz Sounds like coil whine. Is the game on SSD or HDD?

    Do you know what component thats making the sound?

  • I know it's an old thread, but I have the exact same issue with two different GPUs (R9 390 and RTX 3060ti).
    Noise comes from the GPU. Game is installed on SSD, the noise appears ONLY during the intro video, and the GPU has a rise in utilisation in that time. I'm playing at fullscreen native resolution (1080p 170 hz monitor) with frame cap on 61 in launch options, and it seems that noise is a tiny bit quieter when i remove the fps cap, but it's not substantially better. On 3060ti the whine is generally less loud than r9 390, but still noticeable with headphones on.
    The screenshot of GPU load with framecap during intro attached.

    I would appreciate any help since it's the only thread on this issue!
