Disable USB3 in BIOS and check naa
+
don't disable usb selective suspend settings. if you try to eject a usb pen drive or hdd it won't be able to. you will need to shut down the pc to safely remove any usb drives once you connect them to the pc. even a log off does not work. (i tried disabling usb suspend settings and this was what I observed). The extension cable might be doing that. Windows thinks something is connected to the pc and keeps making that noise.
Will remove the cable and see if the noise stops else will try what

I toggled usb selective setting back to default when it didn't solve the issue.
I think I should paint an even clearer picture. From the back Usb 2.0 ports 2 hubs are connected.
Hub 1 -
1. Printer which is not always on. (Switched off at the mains)
2. Bluetooth Dongle (Turned this off yesterday to see if this was the culprit)
3. USB Cradle to which Xbox One receiver is connected
4. Monitor which (itself acts like a hub) has 2 USB ports on the side
Hub 2 -
1. Keyboard
2. Mouse
3. Logitech F310
4. Xbox 360 controller
1 USB 3 only the cable connected so that if I need to connect from 1 external drive to the other I can connect 1 at the front and the other to the cable and proceed.
does it make it laggier. my win 10 with 4gb ram already lags to much on multi tabs and skype usage.
Don't use Skype on it but no lags noticed in multiple tabs.
