Help, can't locate noise driving me cr-a-zy

Have had this weird noise in the pc for a week and it's driving me nuts.
When I start the computer it is silent but after about 15 minutes the noise starts and
Have two T-Balancer XL fan controllers fan 1-4 and fan 5-8
1 cpu 50% . . . 120mm Noctua NF-P12
2 door/side 0% . . . 80mm that only do 2C on the gpu temp, it's off
3 twin out 37% . . . 2x80mm that takes out some of the roof air
4 case out 50% . . . 120mm Noctua NF-P12 has a weird PWM noise thats louder than the fan at 60% - 90%, have changed it with cpu fan but is the same, when the fan is on the cpu it doesn't have any PWM-whistle noise at all.
5 top out 0% . . . 80mm Noctua NF-80, usually at 12% but it had developed a clicking noise that is annoying so I keep it off
6 pci mem in hdd-cage-top 40% . . . 120mm Noctua NF-P12
7 pci in hdd-cage-bottom 40% . . . 120mm Noctua NF-P12
8 external fans 0% . . . for external backup hdd
Have set each of the fans to 0% but the noise still persists however there are two other fans
PSU has its own fan controller . . . a Corsair HX-650 W since new year (had it in my old computer for a year but seldom started it, as 1 Ghz cpu ain't that much fun now days)
GPU has its own fan controller . . . tried to run some Crysis to see if the noise changes as the gpu heats up and the fan controller kicks in (max 84 C, idle 55 C)
Have 6 hard disks
IMSC (Intel Matrix Storage Console), ICH9r controller, shows 4 hdd in raid 10 and + 1 non-raid hdd, all 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint F3
Gigabyte Jmicron controller, 36x, 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint F1
case: Coolmaster T01 Stacker . . . great case that has some nice features. It has aluminum side doors that sometimes start to oscillate, don't know the cause as the hdd-cages sit on rubber rods and fans silicon, PSU has a silicon thing between it and the case.
Gaaah, can't think, the noise is making this post very unfocused.
Could post some photos later if it helps.
The noise is like a cricket-sound (or somehting, can't describe it, but not as loud but very annoying)
. . . maybe this text illustration helps
wwwwwrrrrrrrrrrrrrreep every 3 seconds for hours and the it sometimes all the time for some hour wwwwwrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . . rrrreep
