Brand New PSU: Strange turning off sound

Hey, guys

I recently bought a new PSU for my PC, one week ago to be clear. I noticed a strange noise coming from it when I turn off my PC,

it sounds like a fan touching some kind of obstacle while spining and its just for a second.

Btw the PSU is Seasonic Platinum 760 XP2, and its one of the best brands I know, and the main reason I chose it is for the build quality, perfect efficiency, silent operation and stunning warranty,

so my concern is do I have to worry about this sound, or not to bother with it.

Thank you!

RMA that bad boy. At least your power supply doesn't make a sound like the pew from Star Wars when it turns off (my old one has a bad capacitor, and I can't really replace i).

 

And my grandma's has coil whine, Yes, the PSU has fucking coil whine.

Yep RMAing it is a good idea. It's probably not worth voiding the warranty and attempting to fix it.
