the kind of power supply that is a brick one plugs into the wall (a so-called wall wart transformer) is my least favorite kind of power supply

the one for my bedside lamp has been making a quiet trilling noise when under no load (that is, when the light is off) for many months now, and it's annoying

well, within the past week, another challenger has appeared: the USB power for my bedside charge cable

it's the same kind of thing (no load means it makes a trilling noise) and it's wicked annoying

all of my wall warts eventually becoming noisy is the worst curse ever

@rey open it up and see if you can't glue down the transformer a bit better?

@Felthry I'm not sure I can open them up, but I can try!
