Buddee Big W Micro USB Wall Charger 2 Port Humming Buzzing Sound When Plugged in to Outlet

Bought a Buddee Micro usb wall charger what 2 in 1 from Big W the other day and started using it and noticed a humming buzzing sound coming from the charger any one else experience this? Just wondering if anyone has come across or heard of a faulty usb charger exploding or doing damage to the charging devices because of this.

Also it will be left plugged on in my room so worried about fire hazard.

Really don't want to have to exchange or refund it if I will just get another faulty charger.

My other chargers haven't done this before so thought I would ask some other Ozbargainers for their experiences.

Cheers thanks.

  • Take it back, and have them plug the replacement in and listen for a buzz.

    No buzz - take the replacement.
    Buzz - refund.

  • Lots of electrical things buzz. It often isn't a good sign.

  • The charger is just a transformer/inverter, converting 240v AC to 5v DC.

    All transformers hum and make noise. But if it sounds too loud, it's probably failing.

    I'd get an exchange or refund.
