Power Supply Whine, Need Audiophile Help


Ok posting this problem on an audiophile board... because you guys seems far more knowledgable regarding things like this.

The problem is with the 37ish PC power supplies i plug into my wall. ive tried every socket in my apartment. immediatly when the power supply are plugged into my wall (no computer components attached), they emit a high pitched whine. whine increases in volume once the power supply is flipped on the On "I" position.

Im not positive, but I think the whine is coming from the transformers. This whine is not normal.. and theres no way all 37 PSU's could be defective.

My question for you guys is... could poor wiring.. bad sockets, whatever... cause this?? Will a power conditioner solve this? What can I buy.. for a reasonable price.. that will send clean, constant powre to my electrical components.

Id appreciate any and all help.
thank you

you are describing completely normal behavior for a switching power supply; there's no way to prevent it & they all do it
Actually you could have DC current from a outside line transformer that creates the whine. Some sort of average voltmeter will alow you to detect this. If not, call your local power provider and have them check for DC current in your house. This is a common problem with transformers that buzz
