PSU Whine

[SharpY]

Everytime I plug my computer into a wall outlet if it's switched on it whines until I turn on my computer.

 

It first started, or at least I first noticed, when I was at a friend's house for a LAN party.

When it happened then, it was his power strip, It whined no matter if my computer was on or not.. I assumed it was lack of power to my PSU/ the strip drawing too much power from the one outlet.

I plugged my computer straight into the free outlet on the wall below the where the strip was plugged into and it started to whine until on.

 

Now I notice it whine when the same way when plugged into my strip.. Which only has 2 Monitors and my computer (router and Modem on a separate strip just close enough to reach my ethernet cable)

And yet it still stops when I turn on my PC.

Seems to be okay, it's been doing this for a while, back when I had a EVGA 550ti (ha).. Basically just wondering if I should buy a new PSU or if this is all good.  I feel like a 750W might be a good idea just so I'm not pushing my 600w so much.

One person on Newegg reported that the CX power supplies have coil whine when they're in standby mode.

The only thing I find weird about that is a couple of my friends have Corsair PSU's, 2 of them The same exact as mine (but newer version perhaps, still CX600) and one a GS600, and none of them have had this.. maybe it's only a handful of like every thousand or something.
