What PSU is it?

Can you better describe the noise you are hearing, or record it and upload an audio clip? "Inaudible" is not a very helpful word for describing a noise.

Throw the whole brother away. See if you can return it for a new one. RMA him.

 

Most likely it's fine if it's just a click sound and not a constant buzz

It kind of reminds me of coil whine , also when powering on the blue LED indicator of my asus wifi card kind of goes crazy .
