Default Maybe it's the PSU?

Check if the noise is coming from your Power Supply, as sometimes when a power hungry component such as a CPU or graphics card switches to a heavy load, such as when your flying, it can cause a noise to emanate from the PSU. If so it could be a transformer humming due to heavy load, or a fan that is increasing speed. This is more likely to occur if your computer is near the maximum wattage of your PSU, or if your PSU is slightly aged, as the capacitors and such age within it lowering the max wattage slowly over time.
