I've purchased three EVGA power supplies now, and all three of them have produced some kind of buzzing. I've tried the EVGA P2 850, EVGA 1050 GS, and the EVGA 1000 PS. I thought the power supplies were defective, but could something else be at fault here?
My system is otherwise functioning fine but i'm not sure why they keep buzzing.
My specs: i7-6700k
Asus Maximus VIII Hero MSI 980ti
Corsair H110i GTX

    Are you sure it is the power supplis and not a video card making the noises?

    I see you don't list a video card, so that is why I inquire about that.

    Also, are you using a UPS system or plugged directly into the wall? It would be beneficial of you could try a different wall plug to make sure you aren't getting any interference from the socket itself.

    On the Socket Side: Poor Grounding, Poor Electric Path, Polarity Incorrect.
    On the Computer Side: Poor Grounding of the Motherboard and Computer Case and from the Power Supply to the Computer Case.
    What other Electric Devices are Plugged into the Same Socket all the way to the Circuit Breaker?

    Curious.  How old was the PSU?
