I have ThinkPad laptop T410s, now over six years old. The ThinkPad T410s is currently running Windows 10 (updated from Windows 7) and I mainly use it to test new programs.

This laptop has a frustrating problem. The laptop sounds loud when it is plugged in or unplugged from the power source.

Sure, this feature is useful, but the beep is annoying most of the time.
