Is this normal for a Quadro Fx 1500?

a strange sound comes out of the card:
(sounds like a capacitor which is about to break, the microphone has been placed less that 1cm away from the big capacitors on the outer back of the card, but the sound is loud enough to be heard a couple of meters away)
beware, turn your volume down first

Thanks to both of you.
PNY Germany won’t send me a new one; I have to sent it to the retail store where I bought it, then they’ll sent me a replacement…
