Thanks so much for this plugin! Love it! Is there a way to turn if off if I want to? Something like a turn off toggle? Haven't been able to find it and I am pretty newbie when it comes to Unraid/Tailscale.

So it seems it's a general problem. I also wanted to maybe buy a second one to test if it's the same sound. I also tested with 2 separate power adapters, one from an Intel NUC 65W and the one I'm using an Asus 90W I got from ebay, it's the one they recommend on the Asrock support site. The problem is with the board, don't know if they could do something via a BIOS update. My solution really brings down the sound, it's only now and then and a lot quieter.

Hey Michael, I actually solved it but I never came back here to update it. It's been super annoying but I managed to figure it out myself. The sound goes away if in BIOS you turn off Intel Turbo Boost but that limits your CPU so you don't want to do that. But that's how I figured it out what it was. If in Unraid you open the Terminal and type the following command, you will see that your cores are almost always at around 2800-3200 MHz, they don't really go down. watch grep \"cpu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo To fix it, I installed the Tips and Tweaks plugin from the apps tab. Then, in the Settings tab go to Tips and Tweaks, scroll down to "Normal CPU Scaling Governor" and set it to Power Save. Then it should be silence :). Edit: Ok I listened to my PC again and it doesn't go away 100% but it goes from constantly making noises to every 2-3 seconds, I guess when the CPU goes into a higher MHz. If you disable "Enable Intel Turbo/AMD Performance Boost?" in Tips and Tweaks it's 100% silent but then the CPU is limited to 800MHz.

I am building a new PC with an Asrock N100DC-ITX, it's a motherboard that has a DC Jack so no external PSU. I plan to use it with 1x NVME and 2x HDDs. At the moment, the HDDs and the 19V 90W AC Adpter are being delivered but I wanted to play with Unraid to get familiar with it. So I tested the machine with a 1TB WD SN570 NVMe and 1TB 860 EVO SSD. I have an Intel NUC so I used its 19V 65W power adapter. Initially on the NVMe, I had Opensuse so I played around with it, no problem. When I booted Unraid, the moment I could access it, I kept hearing some strange interference sounds coming from the DC Jack. Really weird. The sound was not present while Opensuse was running nor is it present in BIOS. Only when Unraid is running. There is also no such sound when the Adapter is used on the Intel Nuc. Here is a sample I recorded with my phone, I bumped the dB +30 so you can hear it. What can it be and why? Untitled.mp3

Hi MPC561 welche Netzteil hast du? Ist die 90w LEICKE gut? Ich möchte eine, die nicht mein Haus brennt.

I am having the same conundrum as OP, I am looking at getting the DC-ITX version like you. What AC adapter did you end up buying? Would like to buy a more expensive one, maybe from a brand name. Regarding power consumption, I saw multiple posts about higher consumption but at the end of the day the i3 is around 130€ more expensive. If it would idle at 8W and the N100 at 13W, the 5W difference would be a "con" after around 10years.
