It might be a failing fan. I have an Intel nuc whose fan started sounding like an air raid siren, so I took the fan out, drilled a hole into its bearing and added coconut oil into it. It is working fine till this date, but buying a new fan is probably better.

I had an optiplex like this. I would give the top of the case a couple taps and fans would spin down. No idea why that worked but it did it every time, hurricane winds, couple good taps to calm it back down

That sounds just stupid enough to actually work.
But then I would need an ssh-enabled wackity whack in my rack.
