Ditto what JoeN said.
Noise that sounds like "static" is probably the image-stabilization (aka "IS") feature of the "kit" lens.

You can turn off IS with the switch on the lens to confirm.
Flash charging sounds more like a high-pitched whine, usually.

Thanks.
When i put either 18mm to 55mm or the 75mm to 300mm kit lenses to manual mode the noise
disappears and the red eye reduction light glows yellow. Is this noise all coming from the kit lenses.
Thanks Chuck
