Found out why my n64 was making weird buzzing/grinding sounds when it has no fan. Turns out the psu was about to go bad! I was also having random game freezes that were caused by this after long play times.
Hopefully this psa helps someone!

Mine makes noises like “Its-a me, Mario!”
“Hyah! Hut! Hyaahhh!”
Boiling capacitors?
Tis my guess
Might also be coil whine from the transformer
Maybe the N64 wanted a turn to play and was whining.
Should keep playing, maybe you’ll recreate the SM64 upwarp glitch. :)
You’re right, I should reseat the cartridge now and remove the rf shield!
They knew what they were doing when they made it replaceable.
Very smart
Yeah I think you’re overdo for a recap on any 90’s stuff. If you want to keep original hardware around.
