IMHO Fans start out with a chatter/growl sound and initially quit after a few minutes . That is your warning call.
A squeal is also a possibility for smaller fans.

Case and CPU fans are easy to come by. GPU and (CPU) chipset fans tend to be custom nightmares


Been a long time since I heard a Drive Anti-static spring squeal. That design is pretty mature


I had poor luck with generic Health monitor tools

A good number of BIOS have a section devoted to PSU voltages and fan speeds.
You could try (F2 or Del is common) there the next time you COLD start (after an overnight)
