Try checking the charger when the MacBook is charging, when it isnt at full battery.

Just a question what serial number are these "whining ones" because it seems anything with 26 and over is not having these effects

I have the same problem when I use the complete cord for charging. But, if I use the small cord the whinning disappear???
Very strange???

I called Apple and they'll swap the charger.
I'll report on the new charger here as soon as I get it.
