[Help] Hissing sound from fanless Raspberry Pi 4

The linked file is a recording of a hissing sound that my Raspberry Pi 4 started to make sometime during the last 24 hours. Another symptom is that the power on and CPU activity LEDs are out. It is not running hot. It doesn’t have an internal fan. It is being cooled by six PC chassis fans. It is running OpenWRT. It has been pumping Linux ISOs in and out non stop for about four months.

I have tried cleaning it by dedusting it. I have also tried rebooting it. While rebooting, it squeals like a mouse, like it was suffering but the LEDs function properly. As soon as it loads user space though and resume routing, they turn off and the hissing sound continues.

Here are some system logs with severities warning and error. As you can see, the logs are from the 15th and I don’t think any of them pertain to the hissing sound and/or the LEDs.

Judging by the squealing during reboot, I believe it to be either the CPU or memory, although I have never hears memory make sound, while CPUs, I have.

"Oh, and this audio filter removes hissing from the audio source."

"...."

"What? I saw your mouth move, but I did not hear anything."

"Exactly. I was hissing."

Tux startled the absolute crap out of me. I was looking for something in the shed and when I walked out he was suddenly sitting behind the door, hissing at me. Little jerk 😂
