That buzzing was the first sign of my converter dying.
Only no one could figure it out. they would test its output by putting the meter on and pulling it off as soon as it hit the correct output.
REAL long story short. AC stopped working, then the fridge and THEN I started smelling sulphur.
Took 3 repair guys and finally the third guy figured it out.
He put the meter on the converter and "left it there". That thing climbed so high I still can't believe it didn't explode.
It was so high it was boiling my coach battery. When we pulled it out one of the capacitors looked like someone shot it with a 10 gauge!! How it even worked was beyond me. It could still turn on but couldn't regulate it self.
I.E. buzzing converter bad. :C
