<div>Hi James,</div>

<div id="AppleMailSignature">If this noise is actually audible enough for them to hear and is the Cisco 887VA something is very wrong and the unit should be replaced.</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">Possibly a capacitor problem or similar in the unit itself but very unusual and absolutely not normal.</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">I've got one of these sitting beside me right now and quite a few out in the field, very non standard.<br>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451262717506_2352" dir="ltr">The Cisco dat sheet states "Newer Cisco 880 Series (part numbers C881-K9, C886VA-K9, C886VAJ-K9, C887VA-K9, C887VAM-K9 and C888-K9), which are fanless, providing a quiet, comfortable working environment in
small offices"</div>

this is an older unit that doesn't run silent.</div>
