Why is my charger making a noise all of a sudden?

Okay so I bought these new red USB-C cables on amazon for like 10 dollars because I wanted a longer cable. I took off my white samsung cable and replaced it with the new one I bought. When I plugged it in I realized that the USB-A end was a bit big and I had to push it in a little harder than usual but it went in I didnt feel anything bend. Now it's making this high pitched whirring sound and I am afraid that it will explode in my face as I sleep. It used to be quiet before when I was using my old cable but now with this red one it started to whirr. Did the cable affect it? Why is it whirring? WILL I DIE IN MY SLEEP?

Does it get hot? If so, stop using it. If not, replace it when convenient.

Also, don't piss on it in your sleep. That might kill you.

Replace it with one that fits properly( preferably the same brand as everything it's attached to), what you can hear is electricity jumping the connection.
