Why is my power converter making a loud buzzing noise?
Typically, symptoms of a failing converter may be a loud popping noise or a puff of smoke, but they tend to go out suddenly. But if the buzzing gets too bad for you, the final option is to purchase a new power converter. Replacement seems rather simple, but we’re holding off on that – because of the evolving battery industry.
Why does my battery make a hissing noise when charging?
Now, sealed batteries, such as gel or AGM, certainly have the ability to make noise when charging. However, a bubbling or hissing sound is an indication that too much charge is being applied and irreversible damage is occurring.
Is it normal for a battery to bubble when charging?
The charging process must be stopped and corrective action needs to be taken to resume charging. Never allow a sealed lead-acid battery to bubble or hiss when charging! Though it is normal for flooded lead-acid batteries to an extent, it is not always benign.
What’s the buzzing noise coming from my RV?
That sporadic high-pitch buzzing noise can be heard in RVs of all makes and models. If you haven’t, just wait… I spent months trying to figure out where the whine was coming from in our 2010 Arctic Fox fifth wheel.

Why does my power supply make a humming noise?
The cause of most humming in power supplies is due to the vibration of transformer core ‘laminations’ against each other. The amount of hum varies with the strength of the magnetic field being produced by electrical demanded in the equipment. Transformer cores are made of a stack of thin sheet metal stamped parts, not a single piece of solid iron.
Why does my transformer make a noise when I Turn on the lights?
When connected to shore power, the converter is powering your DC circuit, which powers the lighting. Loose connections and poor lamination in the transformer cores are common, and weak component mountings can also create vibration noises when there is no DC load.
