	Sounds like you have a case of coil whine. Contact Saphire pronto.

	Could it be the Display port audio (same as HDMI has audio)? Can you disable all sound devices you have in the volume audio panel? Just in case it is something stupid like this. :) (happened to me once). Edited by Star_Pilgrim - 28 Jun 2017 at 8:29pm

	I have the exact same issue, for me it certainly seems like coil whine. I first noticed it exiting Unigine Valley has the FPS jumps way up when exiting the game. The buzz for me seems to be directly related to both the demand of the game and the frame rate. In PUBG I was sitting around 120fps in the menu and it the buzz was really audible, I capped the FPS to 71 and the buzz reduced with that. If you're using freesync try to limit you FPS within the freesync range and see if it makes a difference.
