Hi, I am Steve, lets get you some help
When you say you tried to change the fan I am guessing you did not manage to.
The computer has very few moving parts inside it so not much that can cause noise.
You have 2 real options

It is coming from the speakers/sound jack and something is wrong with the sound card. Cheek this by unplugging the speakers.
The fan is is the other option - firstly clean the fan and the air vents to see if that helps - if not replace the fan assembly.

Hope this helps.

Dell optiplex 760 tower fan noise problem

Its important to try and distinguish where exactly the noise is coming from the most typical example of this is the PSU fan (Power Supply Fan). The above also is very correct but its better to eliminate each point of failure.
