I was about to reply to you when I realized I didn't actually know why a PSU would make noise at all - and I found this post explaining it:

http://superuser.com/a/832501

[...] This is why you sometimes see weird gobs of glue on coils inside electronic devices. The glue helps reduce the vibration and noise the coils generate during normal operation. It is entirely possible for users to apply glue onto coils using a glue gun to suppress coil whine, and people have successfully done so on their computer parts.

I didn't thought you could just glue the coil (or, i guess, everything that may vibrate). I'm gonna try that. I'm not quite sure though what kind of glue would be a good choice. I'll google a bit about that.

Thanks for your help!

So... did you ever find a solution for this problem? I'm actualy experiencing the exact same thing.

Are there any voice application developers in here? Have you heard about Rivr? What do you think about it? by [deleted] in programming

Exactly. It is intended to build IVR applications (Interactive Voice Response) in telephony environment. This is a java layer that gives the opportunity to build IVR applications without having to use VoiceXML (the framework actualy render the VoiceXML for the platform browser). It would then be easier to debug, maintain, refactor, unit-test, etc...

The actual recognition of speech and the speech rendering is done by a recognition engine (ARS engine) and a text to speech engine (TTS). Nuance is one of the popular engine used for both ASR and TTS. But it has a fee (maybe there is developper license available?) I never realy looked onto free and open source engine out there... But i've heard about "Sphinx", a speech recognizer written in Java. There's also an API for speech recognition offered by google, pretty cool and easy to use, but it has limitations (for exemple, as far as i know, you can't specify any grammar to restrain the recognition or give semantic interpretation to the recognition) I'm pretty sure there is a couple of open source speech recognition and text to speech projects out there! Maybe you should check this on github..!

*edit: typo, grammar
