I've noticed that both my Playbook and Storm wall chargers emit a high-pitched sound when plugged into an outlet ONLY when they are NOT plugged into a device. As soon as I plug my phone or Playbook into them, the noise goes away.
It's annoying as I like to leave chargers plugged into the wall near my bed or near my desk at all times. Has anyone else noticed this problem and if there is a solution that doesn't involve switching off the outlet or unplugging the charger? Thanks.
High pitched whines indicate a shorted transformer usually and a power brick is a transformer (converts 110VAC to DC used by your Playbook) and should not be making ANY noise whether under load or not
