It's coil whine, that should give you enough to go on to research further.

It is coil whine. Coil whine occurs when the card is under a certain amount of load, irrespective of what FPS you're actually getting. More graphically intensive games will cause it at lower FPS, which is why you don't get it when inside a building in WoW or in TF2 when capping FPS at 60 (both undemanding situations).
You'll also change the pitch of the whine under different load levels - if you ran FurMark, for instance, you'd likely get something closer to your 400 FPS TF2 whine.
It's not a sign of any damage or failure - if it annoys you, there are (depending on the component causing it) ways of reducing the noise. Google for your specific device!
OP said it isn't coil whine, but without a decent understanding of what coil whine is. TL;DR: it's coil whine.
Coil whine can sound very different even on the same device at different temperatures or loads. It can go from a high pitched shriek to a headache-inducing buzzing. It's a vibrating coil creating a noise - different loads, different noises.
Its dying right in time for the 1070. Its almost like it was planned...

I said that I had coil whine in TF2 and solved it, but I'm still getting a buzzing noise in WoW/Overwatch. Even said "it sounded different than this buzzing noise".
Nowhere did I say "it's not coil whine".
Read.
Except no, because it's been doing this ever since I bought it a year ago.
Pls.

I agree with OreoLover. Regardless of what you thought you meant, your posts not only state it clearly but the general intimation (that we both got) is that your current problem was unrelated to coil whine.
I also agree with this:
