For what it's worth, I severely doubt his GPU is going past the 2D Desktop state for a game like TT so fan speed will be irrelevant.Your system is relatively new (<2 years) ... Are you absolutely sure it's only on TT and no other games? It could be, but I think you might find other games my trigger the whistle as well if you investigate.
Get a can of compressed air and blow out your system. If your GPU fans run at variable speeds, it might be that the speed of the fans are just the right speed to cause that whistle/whine, where as less taxing games (and more) get past the resonance frequency needed. If you take the side off your desktop when you hear the whistle, does it continue (it might be creating turbulence to cause a flute effect through the venting holes).
Here's a reddit thread about your video card, specifically, andYou must be registered to see the linksthat I found using a web search engine.
It's more than likely inductor whine commonly referred to as coil whine, it's a very well known "problem" on GPUs, unless it's the aforementioned issue of having an uncapped framerate, nothing can be done to stop it because it's happening on a component level.
