That's a normal noise and has been talked about before. You'll get used to it over time. When they're on full, you will hear it more.

Um, no. I've had mine for almost a year and it's made that noise since the first day they were installed. It has something to do with the electroluminescent reaction.

That noise is the frequency of the color being displayed. That's why the sound changes when you switch to a different color. The emblems make even more noise.
