Sounds like it might be on its way out. I bought Antec cuz is was high quality stuff. Recently a bad batch went through, and lucky me, I had one go up in smoke on me. So I had to send it back, on my dime to get another one. Didn't want to wait 3 weeks, so I bought another. Now I got a spare that I need to test. You bios may have a menu item to check voltages. Or speedfan (free program) can tell your voltages. And there is hardware to check it as well. Newegg has them.

The warranty answer may be a first choice.
Everyone should read this article;

Can learn a lot and the test is easy to do if you learn how a Volt/Multimeter work. Which, again, everyone should learn if you want to save money.
I my opinion, when you hear high pitch noise a small filter capacitor is bad and allowing the AC input to filter in on your DC output. But, I not bet money, because I not there.

You must be pretty young to hear it. Anyways, that doesnt sound normal. Well, not for mine anyways. It doesnt make any noise and its kinda old. Also, I'm only 16 so I can still hear those high pitch sounds. Therefore, I can correctly state that it doesnt make any noises like that. Yours could be going out. You should contact the company that makes it.

Yes its a classic sign that your power supply is on its way out. Power supplies are quite cheap, so I would go out and get a new one ready just in case. Make sure its a high enough wattage to support all your devices.

well if its only about 4 mounts old I'd go and see if it has any type of warranty on it... but still if it doesn't you will need to get a new one and see if there's a burning smell coming from it as well... also don't leave your computer on unsupervised while the power supply is playing up and one more thing... be care full because if it blows up it can fry your motherboard, CPU, RAM, graphic card/s, hard drives and so...

Its just humming.
Could be your transistors very close to one another.
cure: I know your not suppose to do this! take the PSU cover off lightly push down on all transistors etc. with a pencil eraser this should snug them back in place.
Odd yes! does it work? YES.
