So I noticed today that whenever the GPU is put under any sort of load it makes a buzzing noise, it's kind of high pitched but no where near as high pitched as a mosquito. It is most noticeable when I run a stress test but you can also hear it playing games such as GTA IV. It's definitely the gpu and not anything else like the PSU. The card is just over a week old, I haven't played many games on it and I haven't overclocked it at all.
I tried to record it but you can't hear it. I guess it's bearable when I game but I'm scared the card is faulty and it will get worse. Is this a common issue or should I return the card? And will it get worse?

EDIT: The card is EVGA 1GB and is factory overclocked to Core clock: 850MHz, Memory Clock: 4104MHz, Shader Clock: 1700MHz

I have the same with my 560ti under full load. It has something to do with the capacitators i believe, not sure. It's scary indeed. It hasn't got worst yet with mine, don't know if it's harmfull, hope not.
