The newer power bricks are rumored to have a small fan inside of them - so what you may be hearing as a buzz may be a fan turning on to cool it down after it's been on for a few.

I really don't have any problems with mine making any type of noise. But thats because its also very hidden.

When my xbox 360 is off for more than 5 hours and I turn it on, I hear a sort of screeching sound for the first 30-90 seconds on the fan that blows air into the brick but then after that time is up it goes away and sounds normal. Its been doing it for about 3 months and it still works fine... I may have to replace it eventually. Any idea how much I can buy a power brick for and where? The brick is on its 4th xbox 360 and its nearly 2 years old.
