The CPU itself doesn't produce sound, but inductors (coils) can. Therefore, when you move the mouse, the CPU power increases, potentially causing inductors to go into resonance.
Graphics system usually. Back in the day I used to be able to tell where on the screen the cursor was from the pitch of the coil whine.
I buy better hardware nowadays ๐
I thought it was maybe some kind of audio chip interference coming from the CPU as it's not tied to cursor movement in my case
