PS5 slim high pitch noise
I got a second hand PS5 Slim that makes a very audible and annoying noise when running games.
I've read many similar complaints about fan noises or UFO sounds (whatever that is) but I don't think it is the fan. I already removed and cleaned it, and if I place my ear against the PS5 without the cover the sound is a lot louder near the bottom. It also seems to be more silent when I put pressure around this area, or when I place it horizontally.
The original owner claims he never heard anything like it and assumes something happened during transit, as the face cover was also loose when it arrived (although I have no way of knowing if this is true).
Anyone have idea what the problem is, and what I could do?
Added a video with the sound before and after booting a game.

Hi!
So only when playing games? If yes, is it both with disc and downloaded games? Are you able to share a video with us regarding the sound?
Thanks!

The noise can always be faintly heard if you really focus, but becomes quite loud as soon as a game is booted, and remains as long as the game is running.
I unfortunately have no physical games, but with and without the disc drive the sound is the same.
I tried capturing the sound on camera before and after booting a game.
