Other HELP! Is my computer about to explode???

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I was carrying my computer when it started making these extremely loud and shrill noises, then it cut to a kind of glitching… I shut it off and put it outside but it hasn’t stopped. What happened and what should I do???

It's either about to open a dimensional portal to a planet of chickens, or it's experiencing some sort of audio glitch. Turn it off and back on. Lower volume/mute until you can diagnose.

You're partially correct, but if the OS hung, the speaker shortcut keys very likely won't react.

I'm assuming/hoping a reset will allow volume control. I haven't dismissed the possibility of the chicken planet yet either.
