Around july of 2016 my psu started to make a quiet but a little annoying buzzing sound. I did not mind it to the point where I wanted a new psu so I did nothing and ignored it. Now ever since 2 months ago it made a much louder and way more noticeable buzzing sound that pulses(E.g. buzz buzz BUZZ buzz buzz) Then it stops for a minute. I looked to see if it changes under higher load but herd no difference. I just want to know if it is a very bad thing or something I should watch out for. I will be getting a new psu no madder what since it is VERY annoying. But I just want to see if I should stop using my pc RIGHT NOW incase of it being dangerous. And before people ask, Yes ive changed the outlet and cord, Ive put it in a dif pc, Ive replaced fan in it, and Ive called corsair support but they said it is "Normal"(In that case I will never buy a corsair psu ever again..)

Buzzing type noise is usually from the transformer , I'd RMA the power supply.
