Is your MagSafe adapter for MBP (85W) completely silent?

  • It is completely silent and I hear no noise at all if I put my ear to it

  • It is not silent, as it makes that weird "buzz" noise which I can only hear putting my ear to it

  • It is pretty noise and sounds like a hard buzz which is pretty annoying

It's normal that it buzzes, especially when you're powering the computer. Sometimes it doesn't buzz when I used a clean power source like a UPS.

I won't! :) I mean the power brick is supposed to be silent as far as I could understand it. Several users have let me know their MagSafe adapters are perfectly silent and I have some experience with my hardware at home. I can assure you that the power adapter of my Toshiba laptop which is already 2 years old makes no noise at all... it is silent as a stone...
That's why I got worried about my MagSafe adapter which started being noisy a couple of days ago and hear kind of electricity raging inside of the white brick.
We'll see... The only one thing I was trying to understand is how many people have silent adapters so that I could compare it to my situation...
I am going to contact one of the service points of Apple and see whether they will exchange my adapter for a silent one...
 
I just held mine to my ear. I can hear a very slight buzzing sound coming from it...but only when it's held to my ear. It's very faint.
 
All right, guys! Today I have successfully exchanged my old MagSafe adapter for a new one... And this new one makes the same noise... :) so I guess it is very normal.... No need to worry about the weird noises!!!! :) Life is great!
