So I've had this PC for about a year and a half, and I've had a noise coming out of my PC for a few months whenever I'm tabbed into a game. Different games make the noise louder or quieter depending on how "good" the game looks, or how much fps I have. Looking around at different things also changes how loud or aggressive the noise is. I've taken the panels off my tower, and after thorough inspection, I'm fairly certain the sound is not coming from any fans, my MB, or my GPU, but from my PSU, slightly louder from the back where it plugs in. Everything works just fine with my PC, and I've had no issues whatsoever, I'm just curious as to whether this sound is some kind of coil whine from the PSU being a year old, or if I should be worried about my PSU blowing up or ruining my PC in some way.

Here is a video with sound. I've looked at other people's coil whine, and they usually sound much quieter than mine, so that has me a bit worried. The video is a lot louder than it actually is due to my phone being right up next to the back of the PSU.
