I thank all of you for you suggestions and explanations.

I also thought that the cpu fan might be making the noise, but it seems to be working fine...and I don't know how I can tell that it is specifically the fan.
I have an HP Pavillion 9680c.
I noticed a buzzing sound emanating from my computer this morning. Sometimes the noise is gone on its own. I know that this sound is not coming from the hard drive.
Any suggestions?
I'll appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thank you
