Hi there everybody,
As described above, I've started hearing a concerning electrical sound coming from the connection point in my brand new power supply. I've looked online for similar posts but haven't found one which has a sound similar to this, so I'm not certain if it's the same issue. I recorded a youtube short here to show the sound: https://youtube.com/shorts/WknljYR16Ts?feature=share
and a demonstration of when the sound starts:

I'd like to know if this is a normal sound to be hearing in an 80+ bronze PSU or if I should be contacting Corsair and getting it replaced since it is well within warranty? The PSU starts making this sound as soon as windows starts up and this buzzing/static noise continues as long as the PC is on. I've tried unplugging the PSU from the powerboard and putting it directly into the wall socket. Having listened, the sound seems to be coming from either the actual power connection itself or very close to that connection.
The PC has the following specifications:
MSI B365M Mortar Motherboard (Micro ATX)
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz CL16 DDR4
Intel Core i3 9100 CPU
Arctic Cooling Freezer i30 CPU Cooler
MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Super Aero ITX OC 6GB
WD20EARX-00PASB0 (2TB HDD)
ST4000DX001-1CE168 (4TB HDD/SSD Hybrid)
4 Case mounted fans (default fans for Deepcool Matrexx 50 ARGB TG E-ATX Mid Tower Case)
If anyone has any way to help that would be very much appreciated!
Thanks.
