Evil Crouton: Oct 4, 2004; The Amish scare me

I think my 7950 has developed really bad coil whine under slight load. I haven't changed anything in about 6 months but starting yesterday it started making a loud high-pitched screeching noise when playing simple games like KSP or Banished. It doesn't occur if I'm doing anything more taxing but a few minutes into simple games like I mentioned it starts a painfully loud whine that doesn't go away until I stress the card or shut the system down. Is this coil whine? It is far louder and more painful than anything google has shown me. And is there anything I can do about it?
