Is there any software that emulates the active noise reduction system?
Hello!
I got noise from the computer - an unpleasant background squeak is emitted (at a frequency of about 15000-20000kHz) from the torsion of coolers, the operation of the hard drive.
Is there any PC software that would generate sound at certain frequencies, but out of phase with the sound I hear? I have no illusions that my microphone in the camera is able to pick up this sound in order to generate a response sound like active noise cancellation systems do, so I will be glad even if you can manually adjust the sound and phase in order to dampen this terrible squeak

This will only make sense if you are wearing headphones and the microphone is next to the headphones.
Manually satisfactorily pick up will not work, because. this signal is stochastic. It is necessary to record at a specific point in space and immediately play back with an inverted phase (ideally - at the same point). In active noise cancellation systems, this is usually done by a special circuit, since a minimum delay is still needed.
All in all, don't waste your time. Set the coolers in the BIOS to a minimum, remove the system unit away from the workplace, use passive soundproofing. Optionally clutter the space with white or pink noise until you're out of your mind.
Paste the hard drives around the perimeter with blue electrical tape, it will slightly dampen vibrations and will not knock metal on metal. The case cover can also be glued around the perimeter if the case is metal. Sounds funny, but it really helps. You can also try to screw the disk into another slot, the body's own vibration frequencies will change and it may become quieter. Or louder.
Clean the radiators from dust and reduce the speed of the coolers. You may have to buy a more powerful cooling system (I did just that, spent an extra thousand, but the cooler never spun up above 1000rpm).
