I really don't know how to describe it better....
When I turn on the headlights, you hear this whine sound....regardless whether or not the radio is on.
I've heard it is a common problem
Hope thats more specific

Does it go away if you turn the instrument dimmer to full bright?
There was a service bulletin, where some instrument clusters (through 2001?) would make a noise if the lights were dimmed at all. Audi will replace the cluster with a new one for this if you're still under warranty.

I believe a new headlight switch should fix the issue >>
For now, if you put it on fill brightness it shouldn't buzz. I found some threads that said replacing the instrument cluster fixed the problem, but this one I linked to says just the switch needs to be changed.
Can't say for sure if that will fix it, but that's what I read.
I don't have the issue in my car so I assume whatever was redesigned was done before June 2002.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/163557.phtml">mine was fixed..</a></li></ul>
