Why does DW make my video card squeal?

It is really hard to pinpoint the sound, but for now I don't think it's the gfx card, but the hdd. As soon I get my ear too close to other things making sound (fans) I loose direction or it drowns it out. Really annoying high pitch sound, not very loud though, but still clearly there. Sounds unhealthy and as if something eventually will break... I have a Maxtor IDE hdd 120gb. Whatever it is, the 2d interfaces triggers it.
