Most likely that is the alarm module.
Sometimes when the batteries in it go kaput, they leak stuff on the circuit board and you are hearing all those components screaming.
You have to remove the windshield wiper arms and the plastic cowling cover to get to it.
Unplug the module, and take the opportunity to clean out all the trash from the cowl drains.

You can replace the module if you want, but it's OK unplugged, just no alarm anymore.

THREE POSTS IN 10 YEARS !!!! THAT'S GOTTA BE A RECORD !
