Is this normal for these cards to sound like this or is something wrong with my card?
 
The rubbing sound can only be described as an old HD, the coil whine changes depending on the screen I'm looking at while gaming. Games with more higher load like witcher 3 mask the coil sound with fan speed. The rubbing sound is what worries me, is this a faulty fan maybe?
 
please help.

    Could be a fan motor or a combination of both coil whine and motor.  It could be where you're at a certain temp and the fan keeps kicking in every 5 secs as well.  Can't say for sure though but I would contact EVGA and show them this clip.

    I have a 2070S FTW3 Ultra and the three fans on it make that clicking sound when they start to spin as well. EVGA staff has said that the sound is due to using a specific motor for the fans. I'm using a custom fan curve so that the fans are constantly spinning. Sadly, that seems to be the only way to "fix" this issue.

    While i don`t get coil whine i do get the fan clicking on my 2070 Ultra XC and only on the one fan(nearest to power in ports), i read somewhere that the clicking is actually the fan catching on a cable where the fan is mounted, i have taken a look but the only cable close to the fan are the cables to the front led, ive also read its a common issue, i have thought about rma`ing my 2070 but as it only happens when the fan first rotates, if there are serious issues down the road i will definitely rma it.

    In some cases it is the cable and others it's not.  It could be just the click of the motor makes you're hearing at start up.  You could manually set a fan curve in EVGA's Precision X1 to keep the fan from stopping so you could stop hearing those clicks. I would test it out and obviously run it low on low load/temps and slowly raise it the higher the temps get.  Make sure you're running aggressively the higher you go as you'll have 89c to max out on before there's some type of thermal cutoff by the GPU to protect itself.
