I recently sent back my 3 months old PSU (corsair 600w 600m) because it was making some kind of ticking noise. I got an new power supply in the same make sent to me in advance. But just recently i notice that after having my computer on for about 30 min the PSU makes a rattling noise, worse than the noise on my old PSU.

Should i RMA the PSU again or is this normal for the unit or any other PSU? it's such a hassle replacing the PSU.

here's a video on how the noise sound like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCM8f_6h4kA
 
It seems you have gotten one of the few bad patches which there have been lately. Some Corsair CX and TX series have been shipped with malfunctioning fans.

There was quite a bit similar things in Corsair's forums about fan noise and such, mainly on CX and TX series. Few AXi.
And it was because of a bad fan shipment which Corsair had received.
