Hi guys, I got this modded 1U PSU (Delta DPS-500AB Platinum) which makes a weird noise when it's plugged in but PC is off. When the PC is turned on the noise is gone.

The modder insists that it is normal. To quote (translated from Chinese): "It is the working sound of the switching transformer. This is the case for all 500W models".
I have never heard this kind of noise from the previous PSUs I owned. I am hoping some of you guys who are knowledgeable/experienced with PSU's can chime in. I wonder if this is really normal or is it actually a faulty PSU. And of course, whether is it safe to use.
