What is the whirring, rattling, whining in the notebook?
As soon as the power adapter is plugged into my ASUS ZenBook Ultrabook, the computer starts to whir, chatter and whine, as if the hard drive were defective.
But since I have a built-SSD, it can't lie on the hard drive. Is it the fan? Or the motherboard?
And would that be a guarantee?
Be happy about any answer
CD drive & HDD if available, otherwise fan & DC-DC converter (coil switches) on the motherboard
It may be the activated power mode that automatically activates when you plug in your power supply. The fan must increase its performance as well.
If you have a CD drive, I can't help you.
If something is really broken, I think that you get a guarantee. After all, the hardware failed on its own. You will not be guaranteed if there's damage to the housing. But usually it depends on the friendliness of the provider.
No, I have no drive in it. There are no "classic" fan noise. Rather comparable with a hard disk clack or a bulb whirring.
It hums on every surface. So let's say you lift it up. Is it still humming?
The FS has an SSD…
It only hums to the left side where the fan is. I once uploaded a soundfile: https://vocaroo.com/i/s1W5MypoE17z

That's why I have written (if CD drive & hard drive) if available… Who takes the time to read carefully is at an advantage
What does not exist is no noise
In addition, my answer should also help others have the CD drive & hard drive.
Partial / Maybe a bios update could help. I can't quite judge the audio file, because it is really quiet. Google for biosupdate and add your notebook name)
The sound emerges without a power supply, but then it is a bit quieter. At least my perception. Strange.
Great thank you! With headphones it should be better to hear.

Indicates (multiple) DC-DC converters

can be DC-DC converter
Okay, thanks for the hint! What does it mean exactly? Do I have to worry about that and send in the calculator? Or is this normal?

Do I have to worry about that and send in the calculator?
No, usually not… Also, most people do not hear the tone in their recording
Or is this normal?
even strong spooling is normal in some electronics
Unless you are using a cheap / FAKE power supply to charge, this may slowly destroy ELKOs (due to improperly smoothed current) & will generate more noise in the following electronics (due to not properly smoothed current) than normal… This also applies to faulty PC PSUs, on my tower PC, So Cheap Power Supply (with Buillig ELKOs in there) has led to more noise & instabilities & ultimate broken ELKOs on other boards after 5 years, thanks to no longer properly smoothed power.
Cheap / FAke power supplies can also interfere with radios / radio
Edit:
AM = medium wave (analog) test with such an "old" radio
Thanks for the detailed answer. My power supply (USB C3) is original from Asus, but there's a triple adapter in my computer, which still contains a normal USB and HDMI input in addition to another C3. In this adapter, I then put my power supply.
That cost 10 euro on ebay. Do you think it would hurt my computer?

times without this adapter connect (completely remove adapter)
