It's most likely coil whine, it's a common issue on AMD video cards.

If this sound happens while playing games it may be Coil Whine. This can be minimized by making sure you have V-Sync on.

If this happens after playing a game and gradually gets lower/slower until it goes away, could be lint build up on the GPU fans. Clean them off with compressed air and you should be fine.
