Question:

“I’m experiencing an unusual scratching sound from my TP-link 5_EDC_5G powerline adapter, which is connected solely to my PC via an ethernet cable. The noise is reminiscent of the sound made by an old hard disk during data writing processes. Is it possible that this noise is simply the adapter receiving data through the power socket, or should I be concerned about this issue? The noise ceases when the device is powered off and resumes approximately 30 seconds after turning it back on. What could be the cause of this?”
