GPU buzzing sound

I might just be overacting here but I'm experiencing the same thing this guy is experiencing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifieDriw9_k) Only happens when I'm playing a game so I think it's my GPU (evga gtx 970). Is this a coil whine or what and should I be worried? Would a coil whine this minimal be covered under warranty?

Most definitely coil whine, and it really depends on the company although it's usually not covered (But if you bought it recently, I would return it and buy a new one)

GPU is almost 9 months old. Still has the 3 year warranty that it came with though. Saw this article though, I don't know how reliable it is. But in it EVGA stated this - "We have been watching the early feedback on GTX 970 and inductor noise very closely, and have actively taken steps to improve this. We urge anyone who has this type of concern to contact our support so we can address it directly."

That's waht I was thinking of as well.. Might as well wait it out and see if it disappears then. What are the odds of that happening though LOL?
