Can you "hear" your ignition?

I have an 87' Formula 5.0, it runs good, 245rwhp 13.89@99.5mph.
I just have this constant ignition buzz, like you can hear each ignition "pop" as the rotor distrbutes the spark inside the cap.
It sounds like a cricket, only constant and only changes with RPM.
You can hear it in the car and out by the engine.
I have an Accel coil and Mallory 8.8 wires.
Any ideas?

Accel coils are known to do that.

Check for a light show in a dark area sometime just to make sure you dont have any leaks, but I'd bet its the coil.
