| It could be a small carnivorous animal trapped inside the computer. |

Could be that one of your system fans is going. If it quits when you shut down all the programs that are running that indicates that there is less of a load on the system and that the components that have fans on them (typically CPU, Video card and often your chipset on the motherboard) are using less energy and thus need less cooling.
What are your hardware specs if you don’t mind my asking? |

Woah, wait a minute.
2GHz Core Duo + 2gigs of RAM + 460GB HD + 20" Display + X1600 Radeon GPU = Amazing.
But Amazing + Mac OSX = Failure.
Waste of a good system...
