the power pack? it sounds like its about to go out to me... maybe there's a fan inside but i highly doubt it... but it sounds like it's about to die...

why did you get it to work on in the 1st place?

Mine is dead silent. So yes, i would guess it is going bad. You can also google search and see if anyone else had that problem.

a lot of power packs will make a buzzing noise... it often gets worse the more power you draw from them. Its not so obvious on modern ones though
