Generally my computer only makes noises like that when I'm playing games, I assume because those are applications that require high processing power. But it almost rarely ever happens when im browsing, except for when I use gamefaqs. This is a recent phenomena too, did Fandom add more junk to the site or something like cryptomining in the background?

Gamefaqs has a secret key logger in your pc and they're using it to mine doge coin.

Idk, it's probably just making your adblocker work eight thousand times harder cuz of how fuckin many ads there are now.
