Video Card Buzzing

Hello, I was running an XFX R9 280x. The card use to buzz loudly at random times during any games and bench marks, most peculiar it would buzz when I mouse over a card in Hearthstone and stop immediately when I moused away from it. I didn't think much of the buzzing at the time as I did overclock it and just assumed it was a weird problem with the drivers or something.

 

I upgraded to a PNY reference 980 ti today (not because of the buzzing, I just wanted a ti), and the buzzing began during cinebench bench marking, and during Hearthstone, the same way with mousing over cards.

 

So now I have to ask, is video card like this buzzing normal? Could something else be causing this such as my PSU or motherboard?

 

Thanks
