Tuneful relay
Just trying to sort a noisy relay which is used in the circuit to power some scene lights from my aux battery.
When I switch on, there’s a high pitched whine from the relay. It also causes the lights to flicker. I can make it go quiet by holding it firm against the wiring socket at a particular angle but when I let go it returns. I can also play a bit of a tune by waggling it around.
I’ve tried bending the connectors on the relay a little to try to make a better connection but this doesn’t work.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Have you tried replacing it with another ?

Probably the start of a failing relay, best to just change it as Mo says 👍
