Probably the switching frequency of the charger. If you have noisy power coming in, it will be worse. Pretty normal, but if you could record it and post.... that'd help.

I agree with this diagnosis.  If it's a "popcorn popping" or static-like sound, it's the audible switching frequency while the voltage is relatively low.  My bike does this as well.
