How can I find which charger is making a high-pitched whine without touching wiring?

Our answer

Unplug chargers one at a time using their plugs and listen from a safe distance; replace a charger with persistent coil whine or overheating.

Why this approach makes sense

Materials, cleaning instructions and equipment design vary. Pick a reversible approach that fits the exact surface or appliance.

Before you try it

Check the model instructions and test on a small area before committing to a permanent change.
