I'm not sure if it is the battery or anything else.
Can you hear the same sound when you put your ear on the PRS-505 and turn pages? (note that you need to test it in a silent room)
Is this coming from the battery or some faulty circuitry?
If it is the battery do you think if it will die soon?
If the battey can I replace it?
Should I be afraid that the device will stop working because of this noise or is this just plain annoying? (e.g. my Mac mini's adapter has also a strange noise but it is still working after more than 2 years)

I have the same problem with my 500.
Sometimes in the night silence I can hear this noise. I don't hear it always, it is sort of intermittent problem. Dunno how bad it is. It is working so far...bought mine in January and heard this noise after 1 or 2 months of using the reader. As far as I know it could be there from the very first day because it is intermittent problem and I am noticing it only once per 3-4 weeks.
