[AMPS] Choke Question

[Jon Ogden]

Ok perhaps another dumb question, but hey...humor me....

Is it possible sometimes for the bias chokes in an amp to squeal or his a 
little bit under high voltage?  I am noticing this today while finalizing 
my amp.  The amp isn't oscillating as I notice this when the tube is in 
cutoff.  It's hard to tell what it is since the fan is so noisy too.  But 
transformers hum so I thought that perhaps bias chokes do too.  The amp 
keys fine and puts out plenty of power with no surprises, so I don't know 
if this is normal or not.

I never noticed it before.

73,
