Okay so I'm new to PC gaming and the intimidation of building one myself didn't sound like a fun task so I bought a prebuilt from cybwrpower pc. Ill link the build here

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VFFCQ6L/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_x9v.Db2BBHVH1

Long story short I powered up the rig on day one with no problems sounded nice and quiet, I installed rainbow six siege and immediately upon boot up I heard an audible humming noise coming from right where the power supply plugs in. I don't know if this is normal or if I should look into replacing the psu cause there is no listed specs for it on Amazon and the last thing I wanna do is fry the PC bc I don't have a good enough psu.
 
Could not find an exact make on the psu I think I would have to take it fully out to check the side that has the labeling maybe and I don't want to void the warranty. All I was able to get was the model number and I recorded the sound so I'll clip both now.

The PC is still under warranty yes. I contacted support and scheduled to have the build sent back and have a new PSU installed, could simply just have been faulty. But I was able to aquire the PSU make from customer support and it's an Apevia 800w for future reference if this helps anybody. Thanks for the quick responses everyone.
 
So in someone's expert opinion should I not send it back to be repaired bc they're likely to put the same version of PSU back in or should I rather buy a better one myself and seek out help from a local tech to try and install it. I assume changing it would void the warranty with cyberpower pc.
 
Changing the PSU will not void the warranty with cyberpower and I've ended up deciding that I will purchase a new psu myself and have it installed. I don't feel like the 14+ day wait to get my PC returned with the same bad psu is worth it. Once again guys I really appreciate the responses as this has been stressful already haha.
