I'm making copy paste from my thread at corsair forums with some edits... hope someone can help.

sometimes i can hear a BUZZ coming from the PSU not even turned on (it was on when the sound started) and the switch behind off, when I turn it on the buzz is louder but after a while the buzz disappears...
this is the sound >>
remember this is with the switch off and coming directly near the cable slot from the back of the psu(some say is a vibrating transformer I have no idea), I turned off the pc used other cable still the buzz, disconnected ground still, but after a while unplugged and the switch off then plug in again the sound disappeared...
>>
there's no way to say why is this and if it's dangerous ? I don't care about the sound it makes (only happened twice, it's not always) i'm just afraid it will damage my hardware... i have played, the system is stable playing for now.

And Today something weird happened, other pc (new, i bought it yesterday) with a generic psu and a i5 2300, started to make the same sound exactly after this psu did it but also its monitor was showing a 1 pixel small line going up constantly, i turned off this pc with the corsair PSU, and it was still showing it, disconnected completely the corsair psu from the wall and after a while the sound and line were gone from the other PC, i have to say, the other pc is not in the same circuit breaker, but i guess they are in the same electric line. ALSO the pc with corsair psu is the only one with ground but, some people in others forums told me that connecting ground to the pipe inside the outlet box isnt the way to do ground, but i live in a department and I have no idea how to do it, also they also told me the ground has nothing to do with the sound and pc should work fine without ground.
can anybody give me a clue of what's happening??
Edit: I tested without ground and it did it again :/ dissapeared after a while
is the corsair psu triggering this?
The psu is connected to an APC 1200 line-r and the sound follows the avr when the psu is connected to it, but disappears from if it's not.
