Buzzing sound from PSU

Hello everyone! I recently kept hearing a buzzing sound from my PSU.. my initial thought is the capacitor recharging or something.. However it did not affect any of my components on my PC.. But I couldn't find what the problem is. Should I be worried? I'm using a Corsair RM650 Fully Modular 80+ Gold Certified PSU :)

If your PSU is making strange noises, you should be worried. I'd suggest looking in your PC and making sure all of the screws are in tight, as the PSU may be coming unhinged or it may be a problem with the coil. 

 

If the problem persists, you may want to look into getting a new PSU as this may foreshadow failure.

It could just be coil whine in which you can't really do anything about it's just unlucky but it won't affect the PSU although it could also be a sign of failure

Should I use my warranty for it?

You should go to Corsair support and see what they say about it
