I just installed my new psu and it's making a buzz, grind and rattling sound. Is it from powersupply or could it be something else, I've never heard of a case fan making this sound, and my hardrive is fine, and my graphics card is fine. Any help would be appreciated.

did you mount it properly and tighten all 4 screws?

Yes it's mounted properly and the screws are decently tight. and no, no cables are hitting the fan.

Maybe one of the fan blades might be missing somewhere. I had a similar situation where my whole case would just vibrate, then I found that one of the fans missing its blade, and removing that solved the issue.

My old psu kind of made buzzing sound that was very faint. I just ignored it. I could also be a fan defect of somekind or maybe just a loose screw.

rattling = dry fan usually
grinding = broken fan usually
buzzing = if it's quiet (as in not loud) it's normal. If it's loud as fuck = RiP PSU
