    How cold is cold?

    My office gets cold since it was an addition to the house
    (not part of the central air/heating system)

    but it only gets to like maybe 50° F at the coldest

    the coldness wouldnt really change anything except maybe make some of the materials contract a tiny tiny bit, which could account for noise - but it would quiet down after it warmed up a bit . . .

    If it's a G4/G3 you can just open the door while it's running and figure out where the sound is coming from easily

    it's also possibly a cable is touching a fan and causing the noise.

    You better hope it's not your harddrive - but those usually make a really nasty click grind sound when they're going bad . . .
