Unfortunately, the possibilities are almost limitless. The power 
supplies for virtually all products now have switching power supplies, 
everything from battery chargers for a mobility scooter and power tools, 
to computers, TVs, indoor and outdoor lighting, radios. security 
systems, etc.

If the noise is there 24/7 and it's coming out of a home, I'd think 
first about a battery charger.
