My PSU has been making a very quiet, high-pitched squealing sound ever since it arrived in the mail. It only happens when it's plugged in and powered on. I don't think I can hear it when the PC is on, but that could just be the fans drowning it out. It's not a grinding noise or anything. It's not a completely awful sound, but I switch it off when I'm done with the computer anyway.

This is my first build. Is this normal, or is the PSU about to go bust? It's been a few days now, and it's powering everything and the fan is spinning so I don't know.

Unless your ears are much more sensitive than average I'd say thats a bad sound. Give it a week, maybe two, to settle in and see if the sound goes away.
If not, I'd get with Antec customer support and talk with them.

Go through and read the customer reviews @ NewEgg
