It often hapens that powerplugs have cheap capacitors inside, that cause the whinig sound. Got the same on my Ixus powerplug. It's the same sound, caused by leaking capacitors in monitors and tv sets.

I experienced interferences on my nokia 7650 throughout the first five seconds of a call. I noticed, that it dissapeared when the screensaver for the display kicks in. Looks like there is no place for a good shielding in new devices. So this sound my be caused by some of the chips responisble for wireless communication. Have your tried to turn off all that wireles components?
Just an idea... no real clue....
