That sound means it's working
Mine does the same. Consider your vehicle as a very inefficient Power Plant upon cold-soak, vs. the more efficient grid to get that vehicle up to temp sooner with the EBH, so that the sum total of energy used and emissions is fewer to get that vehicle up to optimum efficiency (or normal operating temperature).
For my car, that is about 2-3 hours. I can hear the heating element sizzling the coolant shortly after plug-in, but that's normal. With the automatic, torque converter lock-up happens so much faster, which equals higher efficiency. The same should apply for the manual folks...
