Are you using the Apple cable and adapter and hearing this or are you using third party accessories? Any thing happen prior to this occurring such as a drop or any kind of impact? It’s not really possible for any of us, fellow users to really diagnose what is happening on that level but you may want to have your iPad inspected by Apple or one of their authorized service providers to make sure all is well. You could also try using a different cable/adapter to see if the sound continues (and maybe try another outlet).

Try substituting your Power Adapter and charging cable - preferably for genuine Apple products.


If the issue persists, or if you have any concerns for safety of the device whatsoever, you would be best advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to hands-on test your iPad, Power Adapter and charging cable for faults:

Using your iPad while connected to its Power Adapter for extended periods will cause no harm to your iPad - this mode of operation being common in kiosk and point-of-sale applications.
