Sound usually comes from moving parts. For example, fans, hard disk drives, CD or DVD drives or floppy drives. Observe closely and replace the faulty part.

When I have my computer on it makes a contstant noise like
a water bubble Blup Blup Blup. Something similar to an
aquarium noise or a bubble from a diving tank etc.

Can you tell me how to remove this noise

Man thanks

I have changed the power supply as I thought my previous one had a noisy fan. However, the noise is still there and it’s even becoming too annoying. Could the problem be the hard drive itself. I am thinking of replacing it, but before spending the money I wanted to get your opinion. I don’t think the tower case is the issue here, also, I have blocked the MB fan trying to isolate the cause of the noise, and the computer was still noisy.

Yes, if you go to some computer hardware vendor, you can purchase a fan separately. The casing fan is mounted on casing with 4 screws, which can be easily replaced with help of a philip screw driver. Also, there is a corresponding power supply connection for fan, it is either through motherboard or from one of the power ports which is used to feed the disk-drives. It is simple to replace.

You said the first step is to identify the noisy component (which in my case happens to be the cabinet fan). Well, what after that?? ^_^
You certainly don’t mean the fan has to be replaced! I don’t think they’d sell fans seperately …
