The noise is normal and happens on all hubs
It's certainly not normal, staff on here have requested some hubs showing this to be returned for investigation.

I've had 2 Hub Ones (not related) & they both make that noise when dragging large amounts of data around on the 5G band. I just try to ignore it now although I wouldn't want to go to sleep with it in the same room whilst someone was using 5G on there

As my attempts at getting a replacement have fallen on deaf ears (the best kind when you're sitting near the router) I'm going to have a look for an alternative.
Any suggestions? The Netgear D6400 looks quite good.

To be honest the hardware itself is good. Better than an R6400 or even R7000 let down by software. It's also £130 but discounted and free for new customers.
I have probably had around 10 BT Home Hub 5's over the years (Type A and B's) all of them make a noise when you transfer data over wireless. I guess it's not "Normal" but its certainly not an issue or anything to worry about.
and @markhawkin I'm not sure what I was going on about yesterday, meant to say "coil"
@king2001 I have seen some good things about the D6400, it has a broadcom chipset so it should be stable, just make sure you download the latest firmware for it and factory reset afterwards and then set it up with your Plusnet details.

At £90 on Amazon I might take a chance on the D6400. Thanks for the advice geek!
