Power supply makes noise

This - didn't respond in time, but yeah. Coil whine or capacitor whine.
Some GPU's are known to do this as well. If you're concerned about it, see if the PSU is still under warranty and get it replaced, or swap it with a higher quality unit; that model is an OK version, but the capacitors are not of the highest quality according to some reviews.
I am 100% sure its from the power supply. Here is a recording:
In here you can hear the sound while I am scrolling:

In here I was watching a youtube video - You can hear the sound while the video is playing, and when you don't hear it - means the video is paused

If the PSU is the problem, to what should I replace according to my system?
All I can hear is a fan. Check if your PSU has a warranty, replace if possible.
You don't hear the other noise? that noise who comes on/off
Yep, I hear it.
As for replacement...you don't really need to replace unless it's bothering you that much. If you want to replace it, I suggest a SeaSonic. A 500-550w unit should be just fine and also last for an upgrade or 2, depending on your power consumption.
I have an 8 year old 520w Corsair unit running my system.

Yes, I have to replace it. That noise is insufferable.
That one will do the job? SeaSonic 500W 80+ Bronze SS-500ET
I would suggest either an S12II or M12II
