Hey Nick,
I've not looked at the electronics inside the neo myself but the sound
is typical in the electronics world of a switchmode power supply under
grate strain.
I was told by someone on the irc channel that OM folks recommend you
don't do it and
being an electronics engineer myself i recommend this too. The sound is not
something the phone should be emitting in normal operation.
Ben.
