I also noticed that. I think it's normal since my others chargers (like the one i have for my PSP) also do some noise (but not that high)

Yes - mine squeals too- sounds like a kettle boiling - the old whistle style ones you use camping etc. Gets higher and higher, sounds like it's about to explode and then eventually stops

it's the sound of power :)

Most power adapters and what not whine and whistle some louder some softer. Remember the old flashes charging? Now that was a wine. Usually even the ones you think are silent emit sounds - just put your ear next to it.

If anyone is looking to buy a second adapter look on Amazon. In the UK Nokia will charge you £7, Expansys £7.95, Amazon market place 70p. Postage is about the same for all of them. Car chargers are also much cheaper too.
