How can you tell if the noise your PSU is making is dangerous...

Just sitting next to my Sugo SG05, its got a 300W power supply and is drawing 115 watts atm but its making some peculiar noises every 5 minutes or so.

The noise sounds like bassy-spitting or sparking but not like the high pitched pop but more drawn out.

Its not coil whine as I know my PSU starts to whine at about 170W when playing wow or fallout etc so its not just a regular aspect of its mechanics.

On a side note i can hear a neighbour using power tools, that could be effecting my mains supply , but how much can it impact/harm my psu's regular operation.
