Talk about noisy in a different way. I don't remember exactly what I did, but some unusual render settings caused my video card to produce a high pitched squeal.

There is a phenomenon called "coil whine" and effected a lot of EVGA and Zotac Nvidia 970's (EVGA's were especially bad). Normally, it does not interfere with the function of the card. It's just annoying ;). Any electronics can suffer from it really - it's not exclusive to video cards.
