I was working next to the car and I am hearing a noise from the bed area. It sounds similar to an electrical plug when not connected properly.

I’ve never noticed before.

using the Ford charger at 80 amps. Pulling 16KW based on the ford app.

Do you hear a similar sound while charging?

again it comes from the bed area, not the ford pro charger, line or breaker.

That is where the charger AC/DC inverter is located, normal sound of high power conversion

My truck clicks and clacks, and fans turn on / speedup / turn off, and I hear way more noise than when driving. I am beginning to believe the "engine" may be a big clock spring, and the charger just rewinds the spring.

my PRO whines sometimes, hesitates for a while, humms for longer, makes a few buzzing sounds periodically, etc... electricity makes noise when it's working... especially when it's running thru a very LARGE converter. A Converter takes 120/240v ac power and transformes it into dc power, to the battery pack. There's a lot of them thar little gadgets up in that thar converter, too!

I think maybe it is happy purr noises from the electric horsies when you feed them. :unsure: It does make a few funny sounds as it charges.
