Product: HP Omen 30L
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, have this omen 30L pc for about 2 weeks now. Noticed recently an intermittent clicking noise coming from it. If I had to compare it to something, I'd say similar to how a car sounds when it's cooling off after a long drive. 

 

I don't see any wires caught in fans or anything. The rear fan looks maybe a bit wobbly, but I'm not sure that isn't an illusion from the sticker when spinning.

 

Removing the panel & listening while running makes it sound like its maybe coming from the PSU. Should I be concerned if the PSU is making an intermittent (once every 5 - 15 seconds) soft 'click' sound? If not PSU, what else can it be? PC is working great, just want to be sure something isn't wrong. Thx

Update - it seems to happen more frequently when I have something plugged into USB to charge

Hello
this type of noise can come from anything
Several components can make clicking noise, the processor, ssd drives etc.
I would say that you have to watch this, if it becomes more and more frequent, contact the after sales service
