Power supply ticking when extruder heats up

Power supply ticking when extruder heats up - Does anyone else have this issue? It goes away when it gets to temp but occasionally ticks, when I assume the extruder needs to heat up again. It's happened ever since the day I received it assembled. I assumed it would go away for some reason. Now, it's getting a little annoying. It's not that loud but it is noticeable. It' annoying but if it's not a big deal and nothing is wrong, I can deal with it. Thanks in advance for any help

Do a quick search on the forums and it will answer the question as to whether others are seeing it... 😀

Perfectly normal - it's from the bed or hotend power circuits switching on an off to control temps. My guess is it's magnetic fields coming and going.
