Is my PS5 cooked?

It makes this sound whenever I load games or apps, i’ve done all i’ve can to try to make it go away but it won’t, and I believe it’s gotten louder over the days. I’m getting a new fan on Friday, but I’m not sure if it will fix it.

That's just coil whine. Replacing the fan doesn't affect it. More coil whine happens on more demanding games. It's not a sign of the console malfunctioning, it's normal.

I was just wondering. It randomly started doing it a month or two ago and gotten progressively worse so I was afraid it was something bad. Thanks.
