Heard a buzzing noise when I turned on my computer, so turned it off and on several times.

Pretty sure it's not the HDD, because my computer has an SSD.

Computer's barely a month old. There's no way something's wrong with it already.

Heard the buzzing noise again today and the other day.

I don't know if I'm just not used to the differences between my new computer and my old computer that I had for 7-8 years. I'm not used to there being less of a delay between when you press the power button and when the computer turns on, for example.

It could be something as simple as a cable has moved and sometimes comes in contact with a fan. Have you closely examined it? Take the side panel off and use a paper towel tube as a "stethoscope". It will halp you localize the noise.

Include the specs to your entire build including the make and model of your PSU and it's age. You might want to roll up a sheet of A4 paper and hold one end against your ear while the other end is used to probe for the source of the buzzing sound.
