Have a Samsung 830 256GB SSD, have two of them in laptop but one of them buzzes like crazy, it's a constant electrical buzz which is really noticeable when the laptop is idle, when there is load on the ssd you get a really loud squeeling noise also, but the constant buzz is verry irritating, only comes from one of them, anyone else get this issue with any SSD?, I get the squeeling noise on my previous 256GB Samsung PM800 SSD, but not the buzzing noise... must be the ram chips.

It kinds of sounds like the electrical buzz noise you hear from the fan of a really old laptop, or coil whine from a graphics cards VRM but not as loud..

Bought this few days ago from central london retailer, where would I stand on replacement, as they would probably say they can't hear it when they test due to ambient working noise...
 
An SSD is supposed to be silent, therefore this one is faulty. I would ask for a refund/replacement.

If they can't hear it in the shop due to ambient noise ask to go into a back office with them.
