Hello. I have a Synology NAS connected to a Zyxel switch (GS1200-5) through an ethernet cable. Whenever the NAS goes to sleep (disk goes to sleep), the switch begins to emit a high pitched "whining" noise, which I suspect to be coil whine. What can I do about this?

how come....they just connected with one ethernet cable... what about remove the ethernet cable?I guess the noise was already there, but while NAS goes to sleep and quiet, then you hear the voice.0

... no.I just bought the switch and the noise began right then. It does not make that sound while the NAS is on. I guess I may have to return the product.0

If the noise began while you first time to plug the power, then you should swap a new one.0
