Sounds like coil whine to me.
Coil whine?
Yup coil whine. (I mean the "buzzing noise")
https://www.xoticpc.com/coil-whinehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7HsXHqtxrIHearth. Had a minute to think about it, and... The only way to lower it is to set a FPS limit and Vsync. What I mean is, up to around 60 FPS most GPUs do not make coil whine. Well they do, obviously, but it's inaudible. When you drive up the refresh rate it means your card can then basically go balls out, meaning that at stupid FPS it will whine much higher pitched and much louder, due to the variances in FPS and thus the power the card needs.
When I bought my Titan XP I thought it was whine free. However, take away the jet blaster fan and cooler and put it under water and yeah, I admit, it does whine. Especially when I am playing games like Doom or what not. My Vega 64 also whines. I used to run it on a 50hz monitor synced and again thought I was whine free but JFC when I bought a 240hz screen and fired up Doom it sounded like I had a boy band playing on the radio in the background. I also noticed that on Fallout 4 the loading screens with the rotating pictures and dumb advice did not Vsync (obviously because they want it to load and run as fast as possible) and if I manipulated those items and moved them around my card would whine like crazy.
As I say, what I've said may not help you. You may find that you find it so annoying that the only way to eliminate it would be to game on a PC or go for something with a lower HZ screen on it. I think at 144hz you will definitely get at least some whine no matter what brand you get or which manufacturer makes it. And mfgrs won't accept returns on it either unless it's extreme (where OCUK will, but will tell you to buy a min gold rated power supply first).
