So my computer tower seems to randomly make a very loud noise which lasts around 5 seconds.
I'm pretty sure its the fan speeding up crazily and then slowing down after 5 seconds but I'm unsure.
This happens once every 3 hours or so. I think I should open the case, clean it and have a look if anything is blocking the fan.

Any advice or tips?

sounds like your fans clogged up and the cpu heaksink cant dissipate the heat efficiently. id reccomend hosing the tower down and let it dry out before use again.

Make sure your pot isn't inadvertently covering the vents on the case.
