Yours is worse than both of my bad ones, mine have been more of a hiss than a whine, but it's the same in that it's much quieter when music is actually playing.
I also received an email from Chord to say "This is normal". Ummm, no... I don't think so!
@Music Alchemist As far as I can tell all the users on here with this particular type of noise (when it's in trickle charge mode) have all had the later QR coded units, mine were 46xxx and 47xxx.
I suspect there were some internal components changed at some point around the time of the QR coding, and that this batch is fairly big, which is why Chord are reluctant to say anything on here that might instigate a product recall. There was someone that had a 49xxx unit that didn't do this, so perhaps it's been fixed now?
Either way, I'm pretty shocked that a company of Chord's standing is happy to have units that do this out in the wild, and when questioned on it claim it's 'normal'.
It might be 'normal' in that all (or most) current units have the problem, but that's a totally different thing to 'acceptable'.
Are you hearing noise on the headphone line or just out of the unit itself?
I have a 49xxx unit and do hear some whining out of the chord itself but have never heard anything over the headphone line itself. Using a quickcharge charger I have from my phone (provides 1.4A at variable voltages if the devices calls for it) what I hear is a bit of a whine when I first plug it in but before the charging light comes on. Then after 5 seconds or so, the charge light comes on and the whine because inaudible, unless I hold it directly up to my ear. This is using a cheapo cable from amazon I think.
What I just tried was when full (or should be nearly full) I plugged it into my laptop to charge, again with a cheapo amazon cable. Interestingly though, it did the opposite, no noise at first, then it started whining when the charge light came on (though I guess that means im not in trickle charge mode, right?). But the whine went away as soon as I actually powered on the mojo.
And I hear nothing through my headphones.
Don't know if thats helpful at all for your issue.
