As you say, you have dial up, but just because the phone line was unplugged from the computer because of recent storms, the modem is still connected to the computer I guess either internally or externally via a USB or serial port. So it could possible for the modem to be making a noise as it attempts to connect to the phone network. The acid test will be to remove the modem from equation altogether by disconnecting it if it is an external one or removing it altogether in the case a internal one and see if the noise stops.
