I have a 2019 Macbook Pro 16 in and recently if I'm using Pixelmator Pro to edit a photo and use the Repair tool, every time I click my Mac makes a weird chirping noise coming from the back middle closest to the screen (volume is off). So far I haven't noticed this noise with any other operations in that program or in anything else on my mac. Any ideas?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.2

To trouble shoot further you can:
—Try a SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.
This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac - Apple Support
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus
all known to cause issues on the macOS
