quite a number of routers either have this fault straight out the box or develop it after some time. I have seen it in all major brands of warying types and function.

It varies in intensity from barely audible to quite loud in some cases, and is usually ranges from between 8-20khz. It may vary in tone and volume with load or traffic, or it may be constant. Most people believe it is the power supply unit (adaptor) or induction coil that has come lose, but this is actually inaccurate. Most of the time this is a semiconductor problem that cannot be cured.

Your main options are 1.) if it is a new device, return it and get it replaced. 2.) If it is an older device out of warranty you could relocate it to another room, or cupboard under the stairs (or similar) where it won't be such an issue. 3.) you could replace the unit. (expensive yes) but quite often these high pitched noises cause irritation, distress and headaches sometimes without the user even realising the router is the cause. 4.) you could enclose it in a ventilated sound dampened enclosure, though I reiterate it must be ventilated uless you're happy of running the risk of setting your home on fire. 5.) smash it with a sledgehammer for satisfaction, especially if (as in option 3) you have been distressed by the noise.

Most of the components that cause the issue are surface mounted and not easily replacable. I have seen too many people guessing/speculating about the cause of this problem but RARELY is it a power supply or induction coil or any other component that a standard electronic serice engineer would be prepared to fix.

What does high ping mean?

It means your lagging, The time it takes for your computer to send a data packet to another computer is taking too long.

What are routers used for?

A router is a device that forwards data packets between computer networks, creating an overlay internetwork. A router is connected to two or more data lines from different networks. When a data packet comes in on one of the lines, the router reads the address information in the packet to determine its ultimate destination. Then, using information in its routing table or routing policy, it directs the packet to the next network on its journey. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. A data packet is typically forwarded from one router to another through the networks that constitute the internetwork until it gets to its destination node.[1]The most familiar type of routers are home and small office routers that simply pass data, such as web pages and email, between the home computers and the owner's cable or DSL modem, which connects to the Internet (ISP). However more sophisticated routers range from enterprise routers, which connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone.
