I got a Gameboy Everdrive recently, it works, but when I use it in any of my systems there's a very audible buzzing noise coming from the speaker that's not there normally. Also, when I use it in my Super Game Boy there's a buzzing noise coming through the TV speaker. Is this normal? Is my shit going to catch on fire?

Is it a real Everdrive or a chink knock off like your pic?

The Super Game Boy itself is fairly noisy, but I haven't noticed any added noise on my real Game Boys or GameCube Game Boy Player with my official EverDrive.

There are many tests you can do to diagnose this. Google for procedures and if you still can't solve the problem on your own post the results here.

Your chink knock-off everdrive is pumping too many volts into your Gameboy and frying it. Buy a real one idiot.

Sounds like you bought a knockoff. Buy from krikzz directly next time if you didnt. The price is worth it.

I normally laugh at people who buy from that slav but he and benvenn are the only 2 that know how to make flashcarts for the Gameboy that actually work. All my other flashcarts are chink however.

I have an Everdrive X7 that does this on my GBC.

Also it's a genuine Everdrive bought from a krikzz partnered vendor.

First, crack the little fucker open, hose it down with contact cleaner(check the auto-parts store) and GENTLY scrub with a toothbrush (Not the one you use on your teeth retard). Repeat process with denatured alcohol.
Sometimes if the fuckheads manufacturing them don't do a thorough job, flux or debris can be left on the board and cause a short.

those old flashcarts could do cheats? savestates? rtc?

semi good advice.

It seems to me that the stepdown converter (5VDC to 3.3VDC or lower) is noisy, just replace it by a compatible and better part)

Some could. Of course the old ED is one that couldn't
