Is this normal? I've sent from a cv650 from corsair but had to rma, and now I have my old kolink 80 bronze 600 watt and it's making a buzzing noise.. I have ordered a 750 watt antec to PSU that is rated gold, this issue will stop tho right? 

My specs are 1060 3gb r5 3600xt 16gb 3600mhz ram b450 f STRIX mb 480gb SSD and 4 rgb fans that are powered by 4 pin molex

It sounds like coil whine. It's most common on GPUs (though can happen on PSUs), so I would make sure that its coming from the PSU and not from the GPU. Even if it is coming from the GPU, a bad PSU can cause a GPU to whine, so run the new unit to see if it goes away. If you make sure that it is coming from the PSU, a new one should fix it, and if it doesn't, get a UPS to act as a power cleaner. Also check that the new PSU is highly rated on the PSU tier list.

Noise can come from HDD if one use that and it beings to fail, PSU, GPU, if not you are hearing a fan noise (but I guess not).

higher rated PSU can give maybe a cleaner output, so it might help a little but not really sure.

Else it can be the GPU like said above.
