Messing around inside a brand new power supply wouldn't be my first
choice. Try to get it further away from you. I don't know what your
room is like, but is there a closet or something nearby? My
father-in-law likes to use a 12 Volt car battery and a
charger/maintainer like a Battery Minder. The battery provides
plenty of current and the whole thing is completely silent. You also
get to use your radio in a power failure.
