Beeping? Like a lorry backing up? Even a low pitch beeping would become annoying pretty quickly. It should just be a sort of hum.

A hum would work just as well. I was just trying to think of a noise I would expect from an electric device, and beeping was the first thing that came to mind. It's better than coil whine at least.

Lorries are switching to white noise instead of beeping, because humans hear that better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa28lIGuxq8
